XHAL-TDT is a television station in Acapulco, Mexico, owned and operated by TelevisaUnivision. The station carries the Canal 5 network. It was founded by Televisora de Acapulco, S.A., initially relaying XHTV from the capital.
History
[edit]Telesistema Mexicano, by means of Televisora de Acapulco, obtained a license for channel 4 in Acapulco on February 15, 1962.[2][3] On July 2, 1969, both XHAL and XHAP became operational.[2] Some sources say that XHAL started broadcasting in September 1967. It was an affiliate of XHTV in its early years,[4] but by 1981, it had become a relay of XHGC.[5] Both Acapulco stations were relays from Mexico City.[6]
