Interesting that there are apparently so few U.S. imports: XEW had none; XHTV had Patty Duke and (!!) Grindl (an odd and obscure choice); plus Laramie on XHGC. None of the Spanish titles seem to translate to anything that might be a U.S. show. I'm especially surprised not to see any U.S. cartoons on the schedule (popular and relatively easy to dub).

At the time all the stations in Mexico City except Channel 11 (a public station, which wasn't even broadcasting that day) were owned by the Azcarraga family, so they had a monopoly and could simply show whatever they wanted. The 1974 schedules on this site indicate a lot more American content on Mexican TV by that time, most likely because by then there were competing stations not owned by the Azcarraga family - privately-owned XHTM-8, government-owned XHDF-13, and a couple cable channels, one of which carried programming in English.
