History

XEFE-TV signed on channel 2 on October 1, 1962, making it the first television station in Nuevo Laredo and second in the Laredo – Nuevo Laredo area after KGNS, which first went on the air January 7, 1956. In February 2013, XEFE received authorization from COFETEL to broadcast in digital on RF channel 17.[2] XEFE began broadcasting in digital in March 2014, ten months ahead of the market's analog shutoff in January 2015.

In October 2016, changes to allotment of virtual channels required XEFE to vacate channel 2 and begin using virtual channel 17, as channel 2 was nationally allocated for Las Estrellas.

Previously carrying national Televisa programming from Nu9ve and FOROtv, XEFE dropped Televisa programs on July 1, 2020, and picked up national news and some programs from public Canal Once, which does not have a transmitter in the market.

Digital television

XEFE began broadcasting in digital in March 2014, making it the last television station in the Laredo–Nuevo Laredo area to broadcast in digital, just ten months before analog shutoff in the Nuevo Laredo area in January 2015. It has one subchannel, 17.1, carrying its main programming.
