History
editThe first television station in Monterrey, XHNL-TV, came to air on channel 10 September 1, 1955, with a presidential report from President Adolfo Ruiz Cortines.[1] XHNL broadcast from studios in two rooms of the Hotel El Mirador and a transmitter on Cerro del Topo Chico and carried a wide variety of films and TV series on film. Not long after it started, it raised its power and its antenna height and changed its callsign to XHX-TV. In 1958, the opening of Televicentro de Monterrey allowed for local program production to begin.
The station became a Las Estrellas transmitter in 1985.
