Overview
XHAUC-TDT is a digital terrestrial television station based in Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico. The station operates on RF channel 32 and uses virtual channel 6. Its concession is held by Telemisión, S.A. de C.V., a company associated with José de Jesús Partida Villanueva. Telemisión also holds the concession for XHTX-TDT in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, while Partida Villanueva was involved in the construction of XEJPV-AM in Ciudad Juárez. The station's concession was granted on November 15, 1991, following a competitive process in which Telemisión's application prevailed over eleven other applicants. Although the concession dates from 1991, XHAUC did not begin broadcasting until 1996. Its early and long-running programming identity was closely tied to Televisa. Until the end of 2018, the station carried Televisa programming, including the network later known as Nu9ve and previously branded Gala TV, together with local programming produced for the Chihuahua market. A major change occurred at the beginning of 2019. On January 1, local Televisa Chihuahua programming was transferred to the second subchannel of XHCHZ-TDT's virtual channel 9.1. The move followed Telemisión's disaffiliation from Televisa and left XHAUC without a regular program service for a short period. For approximately three weeks, the station transmitted a static slide featuring its logo and transmitter information. On January 24, 2019, it began carrying Milenio Televisión. In May 2019, XHAUC became a full-time affiliate of Multimedios Televisión. The affiliation change was accompanied by a channel repositioning: in July 2019, the station moved to virtual channel 6, aligning its over-the-air identity with the XHAUC call sign and its Multimedios affiliation. Its role is therefore best understood as a local broadcast outlet that distributes network television programming in Chihuahua rather than as an independently branded national media company. The station's principal offering is free-to-air television delivered through digital terrestrial transmission. Its programming history includes local Chihuahua content, Televisa/Nu9ve or Gala TV programming, Milenio Televisión, and Multimedios Televisión service. Publicly available reference material does not establish a separate corporate parent, a distinct standalone revenue profile, a listed-company relationship, or a comprehensive current schedule. The station's website retains the older Gala TV/Televisa-era identity in the supplied reference information, while the documented affiliation history identifies Multimedios Televisión as its later network partner.
History
XHAUC-TDT is a digital television station serving Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico. Its concession was awarded to Telemisión, S.A. de C.V. on November 15, 1991, after the company prevailed over eleven competing applicants. The station did not begin broadcasting immediately; it signed on in 1996. The concession holder is associated with José de Jesús Partida Villanueva, who is also linked to other broadcast ventures in Mexico. Telemisión co-owns or holds the concession for another television station, XHTX-TDT in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas. For much of its documented early history, XHAUC operated in association with Televisa. Its schedule combined local Chihuahua programming with programming from the network subsequently branded Nu9ve and formerly known as Gala TV. This arrangement made the station a local outlet for Televisa programming while preserving a regional presence in the Chihuahua market. The relationship changed at the start of 2019 when Telemisión disaffiliated from Televisa. On January 1, Televisa Chihuahua's local programs moved to the second subchannel of XHCHZ-TDT, whose virtual channel was 9.1. XHAUC consequently lost its regular programming service. For about three weeks, viewers saw a slide containing the station's logo and transmitter information. On January 24, the station began carrying Milenio Televisión. The transitional schedule was short-lived. In May 2019, XHAUC became a full-time affiliate of Multimedios Televisión. In July of the same year, its virtual channel changed to 6, giving the station its current documented channel identity while its physical digital transmission remained on RF channel 32. The station's service is therefore built around free-to-air digital television, local market reach, and affiliation-based programming rather than a large independent production operation. Public reference material does not provide a detailed account of XHAUC's staffing, financial performance, ownership structure beyond the concession holder, or current schedule. The supplied station website uses the Gala TV-era web address, but the documented broadcast history records Multimedios Televisión as the later full-time affiliation.
