XETV-TDT, channel 6, is a television station located in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, whose over-the-air signal also covers the San Diego, California area across the international border in the United States. The station is owned by Mexican media company Grupo Televisa; its San Diego-based English language programming, and sales rights are managed by Bay City Television, a California-based corporation owned by Televisa. XETV maintains production facilities on both sides of the border: its American operations (including the station's studio facilities, news department and advertising sales offices) are located on Ronson Road in the Kearny Mesa section of San Diego, while its technical operations and transmitter facilities are located on Mount San Antonio in Tijuana.
XETV broadcasts in English on its primary channel (6.1) under the brand "CW 6", which serves as an affiliate of The CW. XETV's secondary digital subchannel (6.2) carries programming from the Televisa-owned network Canal 5; Channel 6.1 is available on cable and satellite providers on the U.S. side of the market, and is also available on DirecTV to serve the few areas of the western United States where the CW's programming is not available through a local station.
In January 2017, the CW announced it would move its San Diego affiliation from XETV's main channel to a subchannel of KFMB-TV (channel 8), effective May 31. The station's immediate future is currently in flux.
