Its first edition was broadcast on October 1, 1990, led by Cecilia Serrano and Bernardo de la Maza on the "Edición Central". Gradually, the editions of the newscast gained ground in the ratings on rival Canal 13, overtaking the latter in the mid-1990s.

On March 8, 2004, it changed its image to match the new logo of TVN. There were other major changes that year; the old presenters, Bernardo de la Maza, Cecilia Serrano, were replaced with Amaro Gomez-Pablos and Consuelo Saavedra. This move was criticized.

One of the highlights of the news was its live coverage of the Iraq War and especially the fall of Saddam Hussein, featuring Santiago Pavlovic, Rafael Cavada and cinematographer Alejandro Leal. In October 2007, 24 Horas started a channel on YouTube, making Televisión Nacional de Chile the first television station in the country with an official presence on the site.
