Events
- Most television stations in Mexico were required to change frequencies to repurpose the 600 MHz band for use by mobile services.
- September - Tecate, Baja California-licensed XHDTV-TDT in the Tijuana market, the final English-language television station in western Mexico, disaffiliates from the American-based MyNetworkTV programming service in favor of the Monterrey, Nuevo Leon-based Milenio Televisión network. MyNetworkTV was moved to The CW-affiliated KFMB-DT2 in San Diego as a secondary affiliation. This left CW affiliate XHRIO-TDT in Matamoros, Tamaulipas as the only English-language television station licensed in Mexico.
