XHREY-TDT

XHREY-TDT is the subject of a dedicated Wikipedia entry, but the available reference material does not provide enough verified detail to establish its ownership, service area, launch date, programming schedule, transmitter location, or current operating status. The supplied website points to TV Azteca's former Azteca Trece service, which was later renamed Azteca Uno, but that reference describes the national network rather than documenting the specific XHREY-TDT facility. Accordingly, this dossier treats XHREY-TDT as a distinct broadcast identifier and does not merge it with the broader Azteca Uno brand.

The available material does not document a reliable chronology for XHREY-TDT itself. It does, however, provide context about the Azteca Trece/Azteca Uno network referenced by the supplied website. That network traces its channel identity to XHDF-TV, which began broadcasting on channel 13 in 1968 in Mexico City. The station was initially operated by Organización Radio Centro through Corporación Mexicana de Radio y Televisión. After the concessionaire accumulated debts to the state-owned Sociedad Mexicana de Crédito Industrial, XHDF and the related company were nationalized in 1972. The Mexican government subsequently expanded the service into a broader national television structure. In 1983, its broadcast holdings were reorganized under the Mexican Television Institute, later known as Imevisión. The network associated with channel 13 continued to combine commercial programming with selected cultural and public-affairs content. In 1990, the national channel 7 and channel 13 networks were consolidated, with the stronger channel 13 identity retained. In 1993, the Mexican government sold Imevisión and related media assets. Radio Televisión del Centro, led by Ricardo Salinas Pliego, acquired the television stations, resulting in the formation of Televisión Azteca. The channel 13 network became a principal part of the new company's national broadcast portfolio. The network later underwent a major numbering and branding change. During Mexico's national virtual-channel realignment in October 2016, Azteca Trece moved from virtual channel 13 to virtual channel 1. The network adopted the Azteca Uno name on 1 January 2018. The reference material describes Azteca Uno as a national Mexican broadcast network with more than 100 transmitters, including its own transmitters and certain secondary-channel arrangements, but it does not identify XHREY-TDT among those facilities or establish the precise relationship between the callsign and the network. Further station-specific sources are therefore required before a detailed history can be written.
