History
CDN was founded on January 1, 1998, by the Dominican Popular Bank, broadcasting on Channel Number 37. It produces news, special coverage, and sports content. In 1999, CDN expanded by adding more reporters and broadcasts. The content was diversified into productions covering the distinct areas of art, health, economy, debates and opinion.

Another channel, CDN2, was launched in 2008. It contained alternative programs for all ages, and in 2014 it became the only Dominican television channel specializing in 24-hour sports coverage, now with the name of CDN SportsMax.
In 2013, CDN was relaunched in alliance with Provider, S.A., led by the journalist Nuria Piera, to investigate high-level national and international affairs.
