Source-derived summary

A24 (or América 24) is an Argentine free-to-air news television channel. It is owned by Grupo América.

History

CVN: CableVisión Noticias (1993-2005)

The original start of its broadcasts was on April 15, 1993, at 7:00 AM, hosted by Roberto Maidana and Cecilia Laratro, under the direction of journalist Eliseo Álvarez, projected by Corporación Multimedios América. In 1994, it began using the same set as América 2. In 1996, it changed its logo for the first time and was renamed CVN CableVisión Noticias. In 1999, it underwent another redesign. In August 2002, CVN changed its logo for the final time, adopting a design similar to América Noticias due to the sale of CVN from Ávila Inversora to América Multimedios. It ceased broadcasts on March 8, 2005, at 6:59 AM.

América 24 (2005-2011)

Its first broadcast occurred on March 8, 2005, at 7:00 AM, with the segment "Buenos días América" hosted by journalists Guillermo Andino and María Belén Aramburu.

The goal was to relaunch the news channel that had been preceded by CVN, which in its last five years had been neglected by its previous managers, losing more news hours and becoming a channel of general entertainment.

With the change in ownership of América Multimedios, CVN was rebranded as América 24 and became a news channel once again.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1993, 2005, 1994, 1996—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1993-04-15. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with América, Argentine and news providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “América 24”, the useful work is to connect “argentine news cable TV channel” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4749624. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1993, 2005, 1994 and 1996.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
