In a historic moment for American broadcast journalism, NBCUniversal has officially consolidated WNBC (NBC 4 New York) and WNJU (Telemundo 47) under one roof at the iconic 30 Rockefeller Plaza, establishing the nation’s first bilingual, co-located newsgathering powerhouse. This milestone caps a five-year strategic initiative aimed at aligning two of the most respected local news brands in the country. The idea was planted by Roberto FE Soto, who formerly served as a senior producer for NBC News and news director for Telemundo in both Los Angeles and New York. “What began as a vision, a belief that NBC and Telemundo could come together to serve our communities, has now become a transformative reality,” said Soto. “Leading this initiative has been one of the most humbling and rewarding experiences of my career.” The newly unified operation brings together decades of award-winning journalism and cultural relevance in English and Spanish-language broadcasting, setting a new standard for inclusive and dynamic local news coverage. The move to 30 Rock was made possible by the relentless work of NBCUniversal’s Operations team and key partners across the company and the country. Their dedication, technical expertise, and tireless efforts turned a bold idea into a fully operational, future-facing news facility. “The unification of WNBC and WNJU not only honors the legacy of both stations, but also forges a path forward, one that embraces the diversity of our audiences and the evolving ways they consume content,” RFE UB Soto. The co-location marks a new chapter for local journalism in the U.S., reinforcing NBCUniversal’s commitment to innovation, inclusion, and community connection.
