In 1990, CBC established its first television station, XHBJ-TV channel 45. The station has been affiliated with a Televisa network; it currently airs Gala TV programming.

In 1994, XHMORE-FM began broadcasting; the station currently carries a Rock en Español format as "More FM 98.9", since September 2010. The More FM branding and format would later be carried over to XEWV-FM Mexicali on September 9, 2011.

Also part of the CBC family is XESPN-AM; formerly an affiliate of ESPN Radio, the station changed to a news/talk format as "Noticias 800" on November 1, 2010.

On January 24, 2011, CBC converted "CBC Radio" stations XEBG-AM, XEMBC-AM and Ensenada station XEDX-AM to a new news/talk format, under the "Cadena" branding. XESPN was later also rebranded as Cadena 800 AM.
