Ocho TV began cable telecasts in June 1994 on channel 8 of the Telecable de Zapopan system, which had previously been established by Héctor Vielma Valdivia. The first program was a World Cup show, Conexión Mundialista. The station was renamed Ocho TV in 2004, and it grew to gain coverage on several national cable systems beyond Guadalajara, particularly when Telecable de Zapopan was sold off in 2015.

On November 16, 2018, Ocho TV ceased operations in order to relaunch as Quiero TV with a revamped program lineup on January 3, 2019. During that time, only the station's newscasts were broadcast. The relaunch included an investment in new studio equipment and a deal with Caracol Televisión, Canal RCN and Canal 1 entertainment programming.[2]
On June 6, 2018, the Federal Telecommunications Institute authorized XHQMGU to program and broadcast a second subchannel, also named Quelec TV, which carries a two-hour timeshift feed of the main channel. The authorization carried the Quelec TV name more than five months prior to the station's relaunch. A third subchannel of Inova infomercials was approved in August 2019.[3]
