XHVSL-TV, branded on air as Televalles, is a television station licensed to Ciudad Valles, San Luis Potosí. Broadcasting on channel 8 from a transmitter located east of Ciudad Valles on Cerro Pinolillo, XHVSL is a local affiliate of Televisa's Gala TV with a large portion of its schedule devoted to local programming.
History
XHVSL signed on in 1996, under the concessionaire Alfonso Esper Bujaidar. Upon Esper's death in 2008, Adrián and Alfonso Esper Cárdenas inherited the station, and they consolidated their interest under the company TV Ocho, S.A. de C.V. Since this station signed on, it has been co-operated with XEIR-AM and (more recently) its FM combo station XHIR-FM, which are licensed to Laura Cárdenas del Avellano.
Programming
Televalles produces a large quantity of local programming. The station produces a local newscast on weekdays, known as NTV, as well as programs such as Conexión Universitaria, a program for students of the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí.
Translators
XHVSL has two translator stations that extend the station's signal to the north and south:
| Frequency | City | ERP |
|---|---|---|
| Channel 9 | Tamazunchale | |
| Channel 7 | Ciudad Mante, Tamps. | 2.5 kW |
Unlike many translator stations, both translators of XHVSL have separate names and identities: "TV Tamazunchale" and "TV Mante".
