About Mexican stations: XHY-TV: At that time, a Gala TV affiliate, branded Gala TV Mérida. Now, XHY-TDT, it is an independent station branded SIPSE Televisión. Gala TV, now NU9VE, is available on XHMEN-TDT second subchannel. XEFE-TV: Now XEFE-TDT on channel 17, is an independent station that used to be affiliated with Televisa, mostly with channel 5. Today, channel 5 is available full-time on XHBR-TDT second subchannel. XHVIZ-TV: Indeed, a Las Estrellas network station. As a digital station (XHVIZ-TDT), it also carries NU9VE on the second subchannel nowadays. Those hourly automated call-sign displays are now mandatory for every station in Mexico. XHGV-TV/TDT is a "public" station owned by the State of Veracruz. They use the branding TV MAS, a statewide network.
I have wondered, during an e-skip event does it even matter what direction the antenna is pointed at? Say I am picking up FM stations from New Mexico in Atlanta, would it help any whatsoever to aim the antenna to the W-SW or does it even matter at all?
The reason I asked was because a few years ago I was able to get west Texas stations in crystal clear, even though my large outdoor Radio Shack FM antenna was pointed to NW. There was a very strong opening that day here in North Atlanta area. Once I recognized where the stations were coming from, I immediately ran outside and aimed the antenna to the W-SW and was able to get the stations in all day long, with occasional fade outs to other stations within 500 mile radius of there. I recorded the entire several hour event directly to mp3 through my computer's sound card via my good old 80s Pioneer receiver which has a really sensitive tuner. That was the last time I have gotten anything of that magnitude here, signals from west Texas/NM/OK/Mexico were just booming all day long, even taking over the local stations.
I believe that XEFE-TV "cherry picks" from any and all Televisa networks. This was a common practice even in USA in the early days of TV, when many markets had two or less TV network affiliates.
No, it wasn't an odd case. Televisa doesn't have stations for each of their networks in every corner of the country. Certain markets had only one or two Televisa-owned stations and independent stations would become part or full-time affiliates of networks without a proper station. This, however, is being phased out due to digital sub channels, Televisa is multiplexing their programming so networks can have a wider coverage using their own stations. Just this year, a station in Chihuahua and another in Chiapas lost their NU9VE and 5 affiliations, respectively. This is due to how Televisa acquired their stations and how restricted they are to get new ones nowadays. TV Azteca, on the other hand, got their stations from the government that built a huge infrastructure of two networks over several years that nearly covered the whole country as a plan to get a state-owned commercial television (which crumbled and got auctioned in 1993 to its current owners). That's why they have the biggest coverage for both their networks nationwide without too much use of subchannels. Imagen got the bulk license of about 120 stations to ensure the creation of a new privately-owned nationwide network, this, however, didn't include an existing infrastructure, so now they are struggling to build it. Another network was also auctioned along Imagen with the same number of stations, but the bidder refused to pay the license and had to pay a fine and lost the license. Some of those "lost" stations were auctioned individually to several bidders in 2017.

Easiest way to DX station from Nuevo Lauredo Mexico actually do the DXing on the American side Laredo Texas same thing will apply to Tijuana San Diego by having your Dxing equipment in San Diego Los Angeles and Riverside.
Mexico has gone digital just like the USA. They currently are not using low VHF (RF channels 2-6, 54 to 88 MHz)---however that may change come 2020. There may be an allocation for RF 4 Puebla & RF 2 Mexico City.
@@christopherdunne7848 thanks for your reply about Dx Mexican TV. I'm wondering if it's actually really possible to dx a South Korean Hong Kong & Taiwanese Radio station from the Philippines Manila area?
If you live in Manila, which still uses NTSC color, I am not sure of any countries in a 1000-mile distance (prime for E skip like my catch of XEFE) that are still using NTSC analog. Taiwan maybe---I don't know. China uses a different system; you might get audio only on a radio that uses Chinese analog TV frequencies.
@DRPSBN (Networked) Sad to say that ABS-CBN, with all of its transmitters ended their programming due to a cease and desist order made by the Telecommunications Commission prior to its franchise expiration. And to continue watching this station, you need cable ir satellite, before they would go back to the airwaves.
I own this video. What we call “channel 4” or “CBS4 Miami” doesn’t really use the channel 4 (66-72 MHz) frequency anymore, after 2009. It really uses UHF channel 22 digital now. However…..since 2021 or so, a low power digital TV station in downtown Miami uses the 66-72 MHz frequency. It maps on screen as “channel 3”-WMDF-LD.
Digital looks to be our future. While some people keep their old CRT TVs and attach converters to them, other people unload their old CRT TVs and decide to buy new flat panel TVs. Goodbye Analog Age. Hello Digital Age.
I refuse to get a flat TV; still using converter box. Once ATSC 3.0 is on the horizon, the current flat TV's will be useless and will need its own converter for 3.0, as would my current TV's. Why waste money?
Either the signal was very strong, or the weather allowed for such reception. We will never see something like this ever again due to things such as basic encryption and digital reception not permitting the reception of weak signals. I'm happy to be proven wrong though.
“Canal Cinco” (5*) is a Mexican network with XHGC as the flagship; my video with that logo here was on channel 4; the Cinco affiliate in Tampico was assumed by me (I think I had other TV & FM from that area that day).
