Gala TV is a Mexican television network owned by Televisa. Originating at XEQ-TV in Mexico City, the network is distributed throughout Mexico through affiliates. In April 2013, the network changed its name, from Galavisión.
Galavisión was founded on September 1, 1968, as Televisión Independiente de Mexico (TIM). TIM later merged with Telesistema Mexicano becoming Televisión Vía Satélite better known as Televisa. In April 2013 Galavisión changed its name to Gala TV.
The Gala TV schedule features mainly reruns of major Mexican telenovelas, reruns of Televisa series, soccer and lucha libre.
