24 Horas is a Spanish free-to-air television news channel, owned by Corporación RTVE and operated by Televisión Española (TVE). Its programming is based on news, debates, live broadcasts, and other cultural and topical journalistic spaces, which are broadcast continuously during the day.
24 Horas was launched on September 15, 1997, as Canal 24 Horas, the name by which it continues to be routinely named by its on-screen presenters.
In addition to terrestrial only in Spain, it is also available to an international audience as a subscription television channel, although its editorial focus is national in scope, similar to that of other services such as Foro TV (Televisa, Mexico), Rai News 24 (RAI, Italy), LCI (Groupe TF1, France) or Canal 24 Horas, (TVN, Chile).
Since its inception, 24 Horas has broadcast different informative programs, bulletins, and debate programs. Its daytime grill is structured in half-hour blocks, which include information on national Spanish and international news, society, culture, economy, sports, and weather information. Its generic newscasts Noticias 24h are interspersed with other more specific formats, some of them specific to the channel; the rest are rebroadcasted of programs previously broadcast on other TVE channels.
As Canal 24 Horas, it began its broadcasts at two in the afternoon on September 15, 1997, being the first continuous information channel aimed at Spain (CNN+, from Sogecable, would begin its broadcasts in 1999). Like the European version of TVE Internacional, it was broadcast open only via satellite, as the flagship of the new pack of channels for Televisión Española, then called TVE Temática. In its beginnings, it was available through the national satellite television platforms Vía Digital and Canal Satélite Digital, in addition to regional cable operators, such as the Basque Euskaltel.
The channel changed its logo (with the inscription 24H TVE) and renewed its image at the end of November 2005, coinciding with its premiere on Spanish digital terrestrial television, at which time it was made available to the wide television audience, then in the transition process to said technology (the analog blackout would take place in 2010 in Spain).
Once again, it changed its global image in October 2008 together with that of RTVE, unifying the image of Informative Services and logos of radio, television, and Internet channels. At that time it adopts the name 24h (read: twenty-four hours) in its continuity, although it is still common for news presenters from all over TVE to refer to it using the word «channel» in front of the official brand.
