XHPBSA-TDT (channel 17) is a public television station in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico. It is owned by the state government of Coahuila and forms half of the Coahuila Radio y Televisión state broadcaster, alongside the 16-transmitter Coahuila Radio network. The studios and transmitter are co-located with Coahuila Radio in a state office building on Periférico Luis Echeverría.

History

[edit]

On February 15, 2016, the government of the state of Coahuila applied before the Federal Telecommunications Institute to build a new television station in Saltillo.[3] On October 18, 2017, the IFT approved the application after a competing bid from the Sistema Público de Radiodifusión del Estado Mexicano, which would have had priority over the state government as a federal agency, was withdrawn.[4]

In preparation for the new television station, on March 8, 2019, Radio Coahuila, the state agency that manages the radio network, was officially restructured into Coahuila Radio y Televisión.[5] The XHPBSA transmitter was turned on in January 2020.
