3/24 (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈtɾɛs ˌvintiˈkwatɾə], tres vint-i-quatre) is a Catalan free-to-air television channel owned and operated by Televisió de Catalunya (TVC). It is the corporation's all-news network, launched on 11 September 2003.

History

Logo used 2003-2014

3/24 was born on 11 September 2003 as an initiative of the Catalan public television to develop digital terrestrial television in Catalonia.[1]

In April 2015, the channel stopped broadcasting in the Balearic Islands, along with channels El 33 and Super3 (which run under the same frequency) as a result of the reorganisation of the regional radio space,[2] returning in December of that same year.[3]

During the COVID-19 lockdown in spring 2020, the channel began sharing its broadcasts with TV3.[4]

On 16 January 2024, 3/24 switched its 576i SD feed to 1080i HD, as did all the other TVC channels.[5]

Contents

3/24 devotes exclusively to live news and information, including news, traffic (morning), sports and stock markets from Borsa de Barcelona.

Most of the day, under the title Notícies 3/24, the channel features a 30-minute informational cycle. At night, it broadcasts Món 3/24, a world news and talk show programme. In addition, a special Aranese language news cycle is broadcast twice everyday under the name 3/24 Aranés which, unlike the Aran version of Telenotícies comarques, is watchable from all broadcast territories with the aim of encouraging and aiding viewers learning the language.[6]

3/24 also broadcasts sports-related programmes such as 3/24 Esports also simulcasted by channel Esport3.
