History

Telesistema Mexicano, by means of Televisora de Acapulco, obtained a license for channel 4 in Acapulco on February 15, 1962. [2] [3] On July 2, 1969, both XHAL and XHAP became operational. [2] Some sources say that XHAL started broadcasting in September 1967. It was an affiliate of XHTV in its early years, [4] but by 1981, it had become a relay of XHGC. [5] Both Acapulco stations were relays from Mexico City. [6]
