Informativos Telecinco is the news division of the Spanish television broadcaster Telecinco. The newscasts, along with Noticias Cuatro are developed by Agencia Atlas, a news agency created by Telecinco in 1998.
When Telecinco debuted as a private television network in 1990 it decided to enhance its character as entertainment and fun television at the expense of its informative aspect. About two months after the debut the network decided to inititate its newscasts.
Valerio Lazarov, then the Director of the network hired Luis Mariñas (then one of the presenters of TVE's Telediario) as News Director and on 3 May 1990 started a 15-minutes late-night newscast titled "Entre hoy y mañana" ("between today and tomorrow").
On 8 September 1990 the newscast started broadcasting on weekends and in the following two years the sole newscast of the network began surpassing in ratings the iconic Telediario (then presented by Matías Prats) and Antena 3 Noticias (then presented by José María Carrascal).
On 6 July 1992 Telecinco premiered its midday newscast titled "Hoy" (Today) presented by Mariñas, while Julio Fernández began anchoring Entre hoy y mañana and Felipe Mellizo debuted on the weekend newscast.
April 1993 saw a major revamp of Telecinco news services and to extend the length all newscasts were retitled as Las Noticias (The News).
Miguel Ángel Aguilar replaced Felipe Mellizo on weekends, later Luis Mariñas moved to the evening newscast while Carmen Tomás began anchoring on middays.
During the 1994–95 season Luis Mariñas stayed in the evening newscast, Tomás on middays while Fernando Ónega debuted on the late-night newscast. José Ribagorda and María José Sáez anchored on weekends.
During the following season Carmen Tomás resigned, Fernando Ónega moved to middays, Luis Mariñas again moved to evenings while José Ribagorda and J. J. Santos began anchoring on the overnights.
