XHNSS-TDT
television station in Sonora, Mexico
XHNSS-TDT is a television station on digital channel 31 (virtual channel 8) in Nogales, Sonora. Transmitting from Cerro San Fernando, XHNSS is an independent local station.
History
XHNSS received its concession for analog channel 7 in the early 1990s. It was owned by Raúl Ernesto Osete Espinosa de los Monteros and carried the programming of Galavisión. Eventually, the concession passed to Teleimagen del Noroeste, a Televisa affiliate associated with Grupo Siete Comunicación that owns XHHMA-TV in Hermosillo.
The station was sold to Jaime Juaristi Santos in 2008. Jaime is the son of Francisco Juaristi Santos, whose Grupo Zócalo operates newspapers and broadcast stations throughout the state of Coahuila. In Nogales, Jaime Juaristi Santos also owns the Nuevo Día morning newspaper and KCKO FM radio (the latter through a United States company in which he holds an 18 percent ownership stake). In 2010, XHNSS changed its programming source to cadenatres and ramped up local production; cadenatres was shut down in 2015.
The station began broadcasting in digital in 2013 on physical channel 31, making it the first TV station in Nogales to go digital.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as television station in Sonora, Mexico. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q22032399. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2008, 2010, 2015 and 2013.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site.
