History

On March 9, 2009, the Fundación Garza Limón applied for a new permit television station to serve Durango. The request was not approved by the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) until March 7, 2018.[3] By that time, another subsidiary of Garza Limón had won two television station concessions in the IFT-6 auction, for stations in Santiago Papasquiaro and at Cuencamé.

On June 6, 2019, Garza Limón surrendered the Cuencamé station concession and a concession for a social FM radio station at Tepic, Nayarit, to the IFT.[4]

On February 20, 2020, the XHFGL transmitter was activated, initially carrying Tremenda TV, a music video channel; XHRCSP soon followed. On May 25, the stations formally launched under the name Canal 15 and began carrying news and other studio programming.
