Radio y Televisión de Hidalgo
Public broadcaster of the Mexican state of Hidalgo
Radio y Televisión de Hidalgo is the state television and radio agency of the Mexican state of Hidalgo. It also airs programming from Canal 22, Canal Once, TV UNAM and DW Español.
RTVH was founded in 1982 and began broadcasting on TV that year, signing on XHPAH channel 3. Its Pachuca radio station came to air in December 1985. As a result of a legal error, the state radio network lost most of its coverage in 2022.
Radio stations
The Tlanchinol station, formerly XHIND-FM, is projected to return at an unspecified future date.
The state network previously covered most of the state's population. However, it lost all of its radio concessions in 2022 (except for XHAPU, which expired without renewal on October 31, 2023) due to failure to renew. As a result of federal laws that protect 10 percent of FM spectrum for community and indigenous radio stations, the Federal Telecommunications Institute denied attempts to open the allotments for the state government to bid on. Of the five made available, plus the additional FM for Huejutla de Reyes, two received competing applications from the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo, delaying their award to either applicant.

Why this record matters
The phrase “public broadcaster of the Mexican state of Hidalgo” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 29, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q8042095. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1982, 1985, 2022 and 2023.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
