Noticias 24 Horas began broadcasting on UHF channel 21 in 1968 as a news-only television station. In 1972, an earthquake destroyed the station's facilities; it returned in 1975. In 1997, the station changed its name to Antena 21. The station has changed from a news-intensive format into a general entertainment format.
