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 noncommercial broadcasters not owned by a state or federal government to reach an agreement with América Móvil to cover the 2014 Winter Olympics.[2]

In 2015, XHUAD began digital transmissions overnight on channel 46. It went digital-only on December 22, 2015.

In March 2018, in order to facilitate the repacking of TV services out of the 600 MHz band (channels 38-51), XHUAD was assigned channel 22 for continued digital operations.

gollark: £250? As I said before, this seems high.
gollark: Yes, iff I am the maximum rank, above all others, and cannot be removed from it or made not highest in any way.
gollark: It's not a statement about intelligence - as far as I can tell most people have no idea how the fairly interesting technology driving this sort of thing (and basically everything *else* in computing) actually works, don't particularly care, and resist being told about it.↓ below person: this is relevant information which people considering buying it should probably know, so that they can use their money effectively
gollark: No, I mean the predictive text probably will get better at some point because of this sort of thing, and then I suppose you'll just ignore it and assume it magically gets better by magic.
gollark: This is also possible.
