24 Horas

What 24 Horas does

24 Horas is the 24-hour news television channel and digital news platform of Televisión Nacional de Chile (TVN), Chile's state-owned public broadcaster. The channel delivers continuous news coverage across national affairs, politics, economics, international events, regional Chilean zones (Norte, Centro, Sur), sports, science and technology, entertainment, and trends. Programming is anchored by a flagship nightly newscast (24 Horas Central) and supplemented by morning, afternoon, and late-night bulletins, plus specialized programs including Estado Nacional (political talk), Informe Especial (investigative journalism), 24Data (data journalism), Mirada Económica (economic analysis), TV Tiempo (weather), Te Sirve (consumer services), and 24 Horas in English (international-facing content).

Distribution spans four primary surfaces: (1) the Canal 24 Horas broadcast channel distributed via cable/satellite in Chile; (2) the 24horas.cl website providing free article, video, and live-stream access; (3) the 24 Play OTT streaming platform (alongside TVN Play) for live and on-demand viewing; and (4) major social platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, X, Instagram) for short-form and real-time distribution. Content syndication with Deutsche Welle (DW) augments international coverage. The operation is housed at TVN's headquarters at Bellavista 0990, Providencia, Santiago.

The business model is advertising-supported and free-to-access to end users, with no subscription or paywall. Revenue derives from display advertising across broadcast and digital inventory, sponsorships tied to events and programs, and the broader TVN media ecosystem that monetizes audiences across TVN, NTV (youth digital), TV Chile (international), and TVN Play. As a state entity under TVN, the channel is part of a publicly funded broadcaster with a brand position tied to national institutional trust rather than market-driven audience capture.
