XHP-TDT (channel 4), branded as Televisa Puebla, is a commercial television station licensed to Puebla, capital of the state of the same name. The station is part of the Televisa Regional network; its concessionaire is Televisora de Puebla, SA de CV. [1]
The station was founded in 1961 as Canal 3 Televisora de Puebla and started broadcasting on May 5, 1966 (anniversary of the Battle of Puebla) with a live event from the Municipal Theatre. [2] In 1969, when XHTM-TV in Mexico City went live, it became a part of Televisión Independiente de México's network. [3] From its inception to May 31, 1984, it aired a newscast, Día a Día. [2] Following the merger of Telesistema Mexicano and TIM to create Televisa, the station continued relaying XHTM. [4] Noteworthy children's programs in the past included El club de la Buena Suerte and Tan Amigos. [5] By 2003, it was carrying limited local programs and a variety of imports. [6]
In March 2002, XHP was added to Sky México, enabling the station to receive nationwide coverage. [2] On September 21, 2004, the station renewed its license to operate until December 31, 2021. [7]
On March 14, 2015, the station was given approval from IFT to change its name from TV3 to Televisa Puebla. [8] Its analog signal was switched off on December 17, 2015. [9]
