History

The history of TV Lobo predates channel 46, with the station starting on Durango cable channel 7 in the 2000s. In 2011, UAD received a permit from Cofetel for a broadcast television station on channel 46, which would carry the same programs as seen on cable. The station signed on March 13, 2012, making it the second university station in Durango behind XHUNES-TV from the Universidad España; a third, XHUJED-TDT, owned by the Universidad Juárez del Estado de Durango, took to the air in 2014.

TV Lobo was one of the few public broadcasters not owned by a state or federal government to reach an agreement with América Móvil to cover the 2014 Winter Olympics.[2]

XHUAD-TV's transmitter is colocated with that of XHUNES-TV. The UNES and UAD campuses are nearby in the city of Durango.
