Antena 21 is a Spanish-language broadcast television station in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on UHF channel 21. It's owned by Albavision, [2] through a figurehead company registered in the British Virgin Islands. [1] The station currently airs general entertainment programming.

History

The station has its origins in Puerto Plata, when Camilo Carrau Villanueva applied for a UHF license on channel 31, receiving approval from Indotel on December 21, 1994. Santo Domingo was part of the coverage area. By 1998, it was renamed Teleisla. [3] The station was renamed Antena 21 in the early 2000s. [4]

In 2014, the channel secured the rights to carry the Dominican Republic team matches for Centrobasket and the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup. [5]

Beginning in 2015, the station was put under indirect control of Antena 7, being owned by a separate figurehead company, Trendy S.A.S., making it a part of the Albavisión conglomerate. [6]
