The RGV's Fox affiliate now has its own digital signal on DT26 (2-1). KNVO is no longer broadcasting Fox programming in HD on ch 48-3. 48-3 is still XHRIO, but it's in SD now. The HD signal is now on 48-1 Univision (just in time for the World Cup).

XHRIO's digital signal is on the air
- Thread starter silverthree
- Start date
Hmmm....I might be wrong, but by that time I think the original XHRIO had pretty much bought the farm. That was really too bad that they weren't able to make a go of that station. The Valley could have used a good independent. Still could, IMHO.
Of course, I'll bet my friends at KRGV would disagree with that! ;D

The valley is one of the most over-TVed markets... if you're bilingual.
Put both sides of the border together and you have the following full power stations:
2 Fox
4 CBS
5 ABC
7 Televisa/Local
9 & 17 Televisa -Canal de las Estrellas
11 & 12 TV Azteca 13
14 TV Azteca 7
23 NBC
40 Telemundo
44 TBN
48 Univision
54 Multimedios
60 PBS
And a a whole bunch of mostly Spanish language UHF LPTVs tethered into mini networks to cover the length of the Valley.

And that list doesn't include the full power subchannels like 4.2 Mexicanal, 5.2 LATV, 5.3 RTV, 23.2 Estrella TV, 48.2 Telefutura, 48.4 CW- all of which air their share of local advertising. I can pick up a total of 30 channels on a daily basis. 27 if you don't count the duplicate Fox and CW signals.
No. When channel 2 signed on it was XHCR but was called "XRIO." The calls were changed to XHRIO shortly after the station became operational. Most Mexican operators along the border unoffically abbreviate any five-letter call sign to accomodate the US's Arbitron and Nielsen which apparently in 2010 can still only handle four-letter call signs.
XHDTV --> XDTV
XEROK --> XROK
XEPRS --> XPRS
XETRA --> XTRA etc.
But the legal ID must give the full call sign. BTW-- Mexico now authorizes six-letter call signs. XECOPA and XHIMER come to mind.

They probably forgot to put them on the "legal id" but the LPTV is KSFE-LD 67.1 (RF 20)
