XEFE-TDT is a Televisa local television station in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. It broadcasts on virtual channel 17 and is known as XEFE, La Imagen Familiar. XEFE primarily carries programming from Televisa's Gala TV network as well as local news, information and entertainment programming. XEFE was the last television station in the Laredo – Nuevo Laredo area to broadcast digitally, doing so for the first time in March 2014.
XEFE-TV signed on channel 2 on October 1, 1962, making it the first television station in Nuevo Laredo and second in the Laredo – Nuevo Laredo area after KGNS, which first went on the air January 7, 1956. In February 2013, XEFE received authorization from COFETEL to broadcast in digital on RF channel 17. XEFE began broadcasting in digital in March 2014, ten months ahead of the market's analog shutoff in January 2015.
In October 2016, changes to allotment of virtual channels required XEFE to vacate channel 2 and begin using virtual channel 17, as channel 2 was nationally allocated for Las Estrellas.
The station's digital signal is multiplexed. XEFE began broadcasting in digital in March 2014, making it the last television station in the Laredo - Nuevo Laredo area to broadcast in digital, just ten months before analog shutoff in the Nuevo Laredo area in January 2015. It has one subchannel, 17.1, carrying its main programming.
XEFE broadcasts from 8am to 12:30am. Programming on weekdays originates from FOROtv during the morning hours (primarily its morning newscast Matutino Express), with Gala TV network programs in prime time and the early afternoon and local programs at other times. On Saturdays, the station broadcasts a mix of local and Gala TV programming. On Sundays, XEFE broadcasts almost exclusively Gala TV programming.
