History

The station originally signed on in 1995 as XHFTX-TV, broadcasting programming from the Fox network for Laredo; prior to XHFTX's sign-on, Laredo viewers received their Fox programs on cable either from the national Foxnet service, or from San Antonio's KABB.

In 2002, XHFTX disaffiliated from Fox and became XHLAR-TV; Fox programming was reportedly replaced on cable with KABB. It would be about five years before Laredo would get another local Fox affiliate, KXOF-CA.

An interesting coincidence is between XHLAR and the Univision affiliate KLDO-TV; they both carry some of the same TV programming provided by Televisa (in XHLAR's case, it's because it's a Televisa affiliate; in KLDO's case, Univision carries some Televisa programming in its lineup and this is thus reflected in KLDO's lineup).

Programming

XHLAR usually broadcasts programming Monday through Friday a day after it has been aired on the Canal de las Estrellas, Canal 5, and Galavisión| networks. Programming in the morning is composed of local news, Televisa Tamaulipas, news and local talk shows. In the afternoon through 5:00 PM CST XHLAR airs yesterdays primetime telenovelas from Canal de las Estrellas followed by local news. Then XHLAR switches to Canal 5 and airs yesterdays series shows. On the weekends the channel broadcasts movies all day from Canal 5. The only programming this station broadcasts from Galavisión is live sports.
