3/24 ({{IPA|ca|ˈtɾɛs ˌβintiˈkwatɾə}}, tres vint-i-quatre) is a Catalan free-to-air television channel owned and operated by Televisió de Catalunya (TVC). It's the TVC's all-news network, launched on 11 September 2003.
History
3/24 was launched on 11 September 2003 as an initiative of the Catalan public television to develop digital terrestrial television in Catalonia.{{Cite news |last=Martin |first=Manuel Ramos |date=2003-08-30 |title=El nuevo canal 3/24 trae cambios en las caras de los 'Telenotícies' |url=https://elpais.com/diario/2003/08/30/catalunya/1062205645_850215.html |access-date=2024-01-20 |work=El País |language=es |issn=1134-6582}}
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,{{Cite web |title=Concentració contra la censura de canals de TVC a les Illes |url=https://www.vilaweb.cat/noticia/4238600/20150402/concentracio-censura-canals-tvc-illes.html |access-date=2024-01-20 |website=VilaWeb |language=ca}} returning in December of that same year.{{Cite web |date=2015-12-17 |title=Les Illes Balears recuperen el 3/24 i el Super3/33 |url=https://www.racocatala.cat/noticia/38304/illes-balears-recuperen-324-super333 |access-date=2024-01-20 |website=RacoCatalà |language=Catalan}}
