History

1991-2007: As Televisa's local TV station

The concession for XHJUB-TV was originally awarded on November 13, 1989, to Radiotelevisión del Rio Bravo, S.A. de C.V. The original concession specified that the station would operate on channel 62;^[1] however, this was changed before the station's sign-on to put XHJUB on channel 56.

When XHJUB signed on it was made into Televisa's local independent station for the Ciudad Juárez market. XEPM-TV became a relayer of the Canal de las Estrellas network, and channel 56 picked up its local newscasts and programming, competing against Televisa-affiliated independent XEJ-TV and rival then-Telemundo outlet XHIJ-TV. The local newscast went by several names including Notivisa and Noticiero 56.

Between 1991 and the launch of XHJCI-TV in 1994, the station also had a secondary affiliation with Canal 5.

2007-present: Canal 5 relayer

On July 30, 2007, Televisa Juárez announced that they would change their programming. XHJCI became the Canal de las Estrellas outlet, XHJUB took on Canal 5, and XEPM became the local station for Televisa in the market.

Digital Transition

XHJUB-TV began broadcasting in digital on October 12, 2012.^[2]
