XHGA-TDT
Las Estrellas transmitter in Guadalajara, Jalisco
XHGA-TDT is a Mexican television station in Guadalajara, Jalisco, broadcasting on virtual channel 2. The station was an affiliate of the short-lived TIM network, which was absorbed into Telesistema Mexicano in 1972 to form Televisa. For over 30 years, the station was an affiliate of Canal 5, but in 2005, it exchanged formats with XEWO and became a Las Estrellas transmitter.
History
In 1956, Victor Manuel Chávez y Chávez announced his intent to bid for VHF channel 8 in Guadalajara. The license was granted in 1960 using equipment and technicians from the United Kingdom. On September 14, 1965, Televisora de Jalisco was legally constituted.
On July 11, 1966, Televisión Independiente de México acquired the assets from its founder and renamed it Televisora Independiente de Jalisco, inheriting its license.
XHGA-TV was licensed under Televisión Independiente de Jalisco, a company linked to Televisión Independiente de México, on June 12, 1970, with the aim of exploiting a commercial television station on channel 9, instead of channel 8 as originally planned; IFT subsequently agreed on November 24. The station was set to use a 100kW omnidirectional antenna.
The station started broadcasting on March 8, 1971, becoming the fourth station in Guadalajara.

Why this record matters
“XHGA-TDT” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, XHGA-TDT, Estrellas and transmitter provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q135267798. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1972, 2005, 1956 and 1960.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
