24 horas (24 hours) was a Mexican television news programme broadcast from 1970 to 1998, presented by Jacobo Zabludovsky.[1][2] It aired on el Canal de las Estrellas from Televisa for 27 years, starting from September 7, 1970. It was the longest running news show on Mexican TV,[3] with almost three uninterrupted decades of broadcasting; it stopped airing on Monday, January 19, 1998, even though Zabludovsky continued working on Televisa until the year 2000. It was a very influential show, considering that it was the most watched news show in Mexico.

The news show was the first to be produced by a news team from the same network, without newspaper articles.
