Nou 24

Nou 24 was a regional television news channel created by Ràdio Televisió Valenciana (RTVV), the public broadcasting organization of the Valencian Community in Spain. It was the third channel launched by RTVV and began broadcasting on 3 February 2009 under the name 24/9. The service was designed as a dedicated information channel rather than a general-purpose television network, with a schedule centered on recurring news bulletins and supplementary current-affairs programming. Its principal editorial distinction was language. Nou 24 broadcast entirely in Valencian, while RTVV's principal Canal Nou service used both Valencian and Spanish. The channel therefore served both as a continuous source of regional news and as part of RTVV's wider role in promoting Valencian-language public broadcasting. Its coverage was aimed primarily at viewers in the Valencian Community rather than at an international or nationwide Spanish audience. The channel's initial format emphasized frequent updates. Informative programmes were scheduled every thirty minutes, including at the top and half-hour, and presented the most important news available at the time. Between these bulletins, the service carried interviews, documentary material, videos and other informative programmes produced by RTVV. This structure gave the channel a rolling-news identity while retaining the production style and regional focus of a public broadcaster. At launch, 24/9 was transmitted through RTVV's digital terrestrial television multiplex. On 30 March 2009, it also replaced the analogue broadcasts of Punt 2. This change followed the addition of Punt 2 news programmes to the 24/9 schedule and helped establish the channel within RTVV's evolving digital and analogue distribution arrangements. In 2010, the service was renamed Canal Nou 24. As part of a broader RTVV rebranding in October 2013, its name was shortened to Nou 24. Nou 24 had only a short operating life. In late 2013, the channel was taken off the air together with Canal Nou and the rest of RTVV. The closure followed a labor and restructuring crisis at the broadcaster. A workforce-adjustment plan that would have dismissed approximately 75 percent of RTVV personnel was annulled by Spain's National Court. The resulting situation was considered unsustainable by the Valencian government, and the broadcaster was dissolved. Because Nou 24 was an RTVV service rather than an independent company, its existence ended with the shutdown of the parent broadcasting organization. The channel is therefore a defunct regional public-media brand, remembered for its Valencian-language rolling-news format and its role in RTVV's final years.

Nou 24 originated as 24/9, the third television channel launched by Ràdio Televisió Valenciana. It began service on 3 February 2009 as a specialized information channel for the Valencian Community. Unlike the general Canal Nou service, which used both Valencian and Spanish, 24/9 was programmed entirely in Valencian. Its creation reflected RTVV's effort to maintain a dedicated regional news outlet while also providing a prominent platform for Valencian-language broadcasting. The channel used a rolling-news structure. News programmes appeared every thirty minutes, including at the hour and half-hour, and summarized the most important current events. Interviews, documentaries, videos and other RTVV-produced informational programmes filled the intervals between bulletins. Initially, distribution took place through RTVV's digital terrestrial television multiplex. On 30 March 2009, the service replaced Punt 2's analogue broadcasts, following the incorporation of Punt 2 news programmes into its output. In 2010, 24/9 was renamed Canal Nou 24. The new name aligned the service more directly with RTVV's principal Canal Nou brand. In October 2013, another group-wide rebrand shortened the name to Nou 24. The change was brief in practical terms because the channel was closed the following month along with Canal Nou and the rest of RTVV. The closure was connected to a major institutional and labor crisis at the public broadcaster. RTVV had adopted a workforce-adjustment plan involving the dismissal of roughly three quarters of its employees. Spain's National Court annulled the plan, leaving the broadcaster's restructuring arrangements untenable. The Valencian government subsequently shut down RTVV, bringing Nou 24's short broadcasting history to an end. As a dependent channel of RTVV, Nou 24 did not continue as an independent service after the parent organization was dissolved.
