XEJ (Channel 5) is a television station in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico, owned and operated by Meneses Hoyos family, and it is an affiliate of Grupo Televisa's Galavisión network.

Founded by Pedro Meneses Hoyos on May 17, 1954, it was the first TV station in Chihuahua state, the first Spanish channel in Juarez, El Paso and Las Cruces, and the 3rd TV station outside of Mexico city.

From XEJ, many talented local people were projected, who became legends of Mexican golden era cinema and music: Tin Tan, Lorenzo de Monteclaro, Charro Avitia, and Alberto Aguilera AKA Adan Luna and/or Juan Gabriel.

Mr. Meneses produced in the early days of television, entertaining programs such "El barco de la illusion", "Doctora Corazon", "Noches Rancheras", "La hora del aficcionado", "Papa Quinito", "Niko Liko" (the clown) and others.

presently, XEJ still broadcasting from its original studios, at Vicente Guerrero and Constitucion streets; it broadcasts Mexico city's Galavision signal, from 12PM to 11PM and still produces its own newscast (Noticinco).

Rafael Fitzmaurice Meneses, Grandson of its founder, Pedro Meneses, is now it's General Director.
