XHPNW-TDT
TV station in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico
XHPNW-TDT is an independent television station in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, owned and operated by Grupo Zócalo.
History
XHPNW received its concession on October 31, 1994, after Televisora Nacional, S.A. de C.V. was selected from among four bidders to operate the station. Televisora Nacional was owned by Arnoldo Cabada de la O, who owned TV stations in Ciudad Juárez and Mexicali. For most of its history after signing on in 1996, the station relayed the Azteca 7 network, which did not have a transmitter in Piedras Negras. However, in 2010, the station split from the network and began operation as a local independent under Súper Medios de Coahuila.
As a result of the station being sold to Grupo Zócalo, which owns the newspaper of the same name in Saltillo and five FM radio stations in Piedras Negras, the station relaunched on August 24, 2015, signing on its digital station (RF channel 39) and beginning local programs in HD. XHPNW's newscasts, previously titled Súper Medios Noticias, became TeleZócalo. The station also added some programming from Multimedios Televisión. In 2016, XHPNW changed its channel number to 12, which was assigned by the Federal Telecommunications Institute due to its affiliation with Multimedios. However, XHPNW retained 12 when the rest of Multimedios moved to channel 6.
The concessionaire, XHFJS-TV, S.A. de C.V., is named for Francisco Juaristi Santos, the owner of Grupo Zócalo.

Why this record matters
“XHPNW-TDT” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, XHPNW-TDT, station and Piedras provides the most credible route into that argument.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18395622. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1994, 1996, 2010 and 2015.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. 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.
