On October 10, 2001, coinciding with the première of the soap opera Amores de Mercado (Market's Lover), which preceded the news, the Central Edition scored 42.2 rating points between 21:00 and 21:56, a figure that hasn't been matched since.

There were other major changes that year; the old presenters, Bernardo de la Maza, and Cecilia Serrano, were replaced with Amaro Gomez-Pablos and Consuelo Saavedra.

In 2005, she returned to the United States, the journalist Consuelo Saavedra, and assumed the leadership of the main news with Amaro Gómez-Pablos.

[clarification needed] 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.

Air time is divided into different thematic segments, covering economic, international, sports, local issues, entertainment, and technology, and it broadcasts the three main news programs of TVN.
