History
3/24 was launched on 11 September 2003 as an initiative of the Catalan public television to develop digital terrestrial television in Catalonia.[1]
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,[2] returning in December of that same year.[3]
During the COVID-19 lockdown in spring 2020, the channel began sharing its broadcasts with TV3.[4]
On 16 January 2024, 3/24 switched its 576i SD feed to 1080i HD, as did all the other TVC channels.[5]
