Meganoticias (between 2013 and 2019 named Ahora Noticias) is Mega's flagship newscast. It began at the same time as the channel, during October 1990, replacing the old Noticias from the channel's predecessor, Canal 9 TVN Señal 2.

This logo was modified so the "N" had the same height as the "M". In the News updates, the height of those letters is smaller compared to the main editions.

This logo is very similar to the one that Sky News used back then.
In 2018, the channel announced the name Meganoticias would be put back in use[4]. The new identity (first shown in teasers in March 2019, launched on internet platforms in July 8 and on TV in July 22)[5], was designed by Chilean agency DYU, that also made the current logo of Mega[6].
It consists of a modified version of the 2015 Mega logo, with the color used being emerald instead of purple, and the word Noticias being put below the main logo, although there is a version without this wordmark. Additionally, the editions have distinctive names:
Some editions were named after the time of day they are broadcast. The main, evening edition is called Meganoticias Prime, while the early morning one is titled Meganoticias Amanece.
However, the other editions were not named with that scheme. The morning edition is called Meganoticias Conecta and the afternoon one, Meganoticias Actualiza.
An additional edition, Meganoticias Alerta, was created in April 2020 to better inform about the COVID-19 pandemic; once the pandemic ended, it became a new noon edition broadcast on weekdays, moving Meganoticias Actualiza to weekends.
On 4 September 2022, during Meganoticias' coverage of the 2022 final plebiscite of theConvención Constitucional, graphics were updated, now using mostly yellow and with edition names being in the Morganite typeface. A 24/7 news station called Meganoticias Ahora was announced on March 1, 2024, and premiered on March 19.
