XHTM-TV is a television station licensed to and broadcasting from Altzomoni, State of Mexico on channel 10. Founded in 1952, it was the second television station built outside of Mexico City and the first relayer.
XHTM is licensed with a principal service area of Cuernavaca, Morelos; Puebla, Puebla; and Tlaxcala, Tlaxcala. It is toward the last two states where XHTM's signal is directed, and XHTM's digital transmitter is located at Televisa's Puebla transmitter site.
History
XHTM channel 10 started life with a different callsign and channel number. In late 1952,[1] XEQ-TV channel 9 took to the air; owned by Emilio Azcárraga and bearing the callsign of his XEQ AM radio in Mexico City, it was the second television station outside of the nation's capital (preceded only by XELD-TV in Matamoros) and the nation's fourth. The transmission from Paso de Cortés (Cortez Pass) was the first step in the development of a national relay network, reaching an additional three million people. Not long after, Romulo O'Farrill built his own relay station on the mountain, XEX-TV. The establishment of XEQ thus led to Televisa's massive system of relay stations covering most of Mexico.
In 1985, XEX-TV and XEQ-TV were affected by a series of moves that added a VHF channel to the Mexico City area. Mexico City had channel 8, then known as XHTM-TV. XHTM moved to channel 9, taking on the XEQ-TV callsign. A new television station was placed on channel 7, Imevisión's XHIMT-TV. To accomplish this move, XEX-TV was relocated to channel 8 and XEQ-TV to channel 10, picking up the XHTM callsign discarded in Mexico City.
In 1994, XEX and XHTM were joined on the mountain by a third Televisa station, XHATZ-TV (channel 32).
Digital operations for all of Televisa's Puebla stations—XEX, XHTM and XHATZ, as well as regional independent XHP-TV—are based in Puebla proper.
