A reminder about these national logos:
These are the logos you will see most-often on Mexico TV. They are not local ID material.
Logos are property of networks/stations. |

The Final Days of Mexico Analog TV
With the end of analog TV on the horizon, there will probably be more sightings of special "HD" logos on Mexico TV. Mike Perron reported seeing what was likely a XEW HD (Canal de las Estrellas) logo on XHTAM-17 in March, 2013. Two examples of XEW HD logos are below.
|
|
IMPORTANT TIP: Televisa independents and Galavision/Local stations carry some programs from the various Televisa networks. Many are at different times than the network feeds. For example, XHBC-3 runs XEW soap operas with the XEW logo upper right and XELN-4 runs XEW and XHGC programs with the network logos upper right.
Televisa networks - click on "horario" for schedule |
|
XEW-2/"Canal de las Estrellas" (Televisa) Mexico's largest network. Airs many popular soap operas during late afternoon and primetime on weekdays. Uses mostly Mexico-produced programs.
|
 |
XHGC-5/"Canal Cinco" (Televisa) Features family programming during the daytime and early evening. Cartoons (many U.S.-produced) fill much of XHGC's weekday schedule. Runs several Nickelodeon programs.
|
|
XEQ-9/"Gala TV" (Televisa) NEW NAME AND LOGO in 2013 - No longer Galavision - It is not clear if any or all of the following information still applies. Features a variety of programming types. Galavision runs several hours of infomercials daily, and regular Galavision 24/7 relayers do carry the infomercials. On the other hand, Galavision/Local stations use much of that time to run local and syndicated programs. Like independent stations, some of the Galavision/Local stations have names (such as XELN-4's "La Tele de Aqui"). XEJ-5, XELN-4, and XHAE-5 are common Galavision/Local catches by DXers.
|
|
XHTV-4/"FOROtv" (Televisa) Features talk and news.
Televisa independents on various channels relay some programs from XHTV. Unlike the other Televisa networks and Azteca networks, XHTV-4 is not believed to be relayed on a full-time basis by any stations.

ONCE TV/XEIPN-11 (Cultural/educational) Similar to PBS in the US, but with commercials. Places logo upper right and alternates between the two logos during HD broadcasts. The full name ID looks like a text ID and is difficult to read when it is superimposed upper right.
