24 Minutos

24 minutos (English: 24 minutes) is a Mexican children's television programme and franchise which takes the form of a mock news broadcast, and is fronted by puppets who present various items. It was first aired in August 2, 2019 on Azteca Uno and Cartoon Network. The programme was devised by Zack Isaac Sanchez and Liza Ramirez Sanchez and produced by Little Witch Pictures.
