History

XHZAC and three additional television stations in Zacatecas were awarded in 2015. B-15, which owns radio stations in Fresnillo, had already been operating a television station for cable and satellite in Zacatecas, known as Conoce México Televisión, which began operations on April 16, 2008. Prior to going to air on broadcast, Conoce México was revamped and renamed 20tv Zacatecas.

20tv Zacatecas primarily carries grupera music videos as well as newscasts; the news programs are also aired by Mexicanal for viewers outside of Mexico. The program schedule attracted the interest of the Federal Telecommunications Institute, which stated that it would seek to verify that social use television stations were being used for their intended purposes.[3]

When it launched, XHZAC-TDT used virtual channel 20.2, in order not to interfere with 20.1 TV UNAM on the SPR transmitter. This was not a legal assignment, as channel 20 is reserved for TV UNAM nationwide. Instead, XHZAC was assigned virtual channel 15 and began using it on December 11, 2017.[4]
