XHTAM-TDT, virtual channel 17 (UHF digital channel 28), is a television station located in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, whose over-the-air signal also covers the Rio Grande Valley across the international border in the United States. The station is owned by Grupo Televisa; it is the second affiliate of Las Estrellas in the Rio Grande Valley, XERV-TDT being the other. The station also broadcasts Canal 5 on channel 2.2 because channel 5 would conflict with KRGV-TV.
History
The station originally signed on for the first time on September 4, 1994 as XHFOX-TV (changed from the original XHRTA-TV before launch), broadcasting programming from the Fox network for Texas' Rio Grande Valley; prior to XHFOX's sign-on and after its switch to Las Estrellas in 2002, viewers in the valley (including McAllen) received their Fox programs on cable via the national Foxnet service. In 2001, its final year as a Fox affiliate, XHFOX broadcast a local newscast at 9:00 p.m. produced by KRGV-TV.[1] In 2002, XHFOX disaffiliated from Fox and became XHTAM-TV, largely rebroadcasting programming from Las Estrellas.[1] The Fox affiliation was carried over to XHRIO-TV from 2005-2012; Fox programming today can be seen on KFXV.
