Antena 3 (Spanish: Antena Tres) is a commercial TV channel in Spain. It is the flagship TV channel of Atresmedia, the largest Spanish private broadcaster, in which the RTL Group holds a ~20% stake. Antena 3 primarily competes with Telecinco. On a larger scale, Antena 3 and LaSexta, along with Mediaset España’s Telecinco and Cuatro, are the four most-watched Spanish commercial TV channels.
Antena 3 was founded on August 15, 1989; test transmissions began on 25 December, and the channel was fully launched on January 25, 1990. It was named after its sister Antena 3 Radio founded in 1982 and defunct in 2004.

The first logo, and in turn the On-Screen Bug, is formed by a red "A" next to a white "3" (initials of "Antenna 3"). It is the same logo previously used by Antena 3 Radio and designed by José María Cruz Novillo in 1982.
On September 27, 1992, the corporate image of the channel changed completely, and a new logo designed by José Giménez de Pueblo is released. It consists of a silhouette of an antenna divided into three segments of red, blue and yellow colors; analogy of the Banesto bank that at that time acquired the company and wanted to include its corporate identity in the chain itself. The international channel was launched in 1995 and kept the same identity as the terrestrial channel.
