Antena 21 is a Spanish-language broadcast television station in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on UHF channel 21. It's owned by Albavision. [1] It was founded in 1968 as Noticias 24 Horas. The station currently airs general entertainment programming.

History

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.

In 2014, the channel secured the rights to carry the Dominican Republic team matches for Centrobasket and the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup. [2]
