XHAS-TDT, virtual channel 33 (UHF digital channel 34), is a Telemundo-affiliated television station serving the San Diego–Tijuana international metropolitan area that is licensed to Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. The station is 99,9%-owned by Mexican-based Televisora Alco, a 40%-owned subsidiary of station's operator Entravision Communications; XHAS is a sister station to MyNetworkTV affiliate XHDTV-TDT (channel 49), Univision affiliate KBNT-CD (channel 17) and UniMás affiliate KDTF-LD (channel 51). All four stations share studio facilities located on Ruffin Road in the Kearny Mesa section of San Diego, California, United States; XHAS maintains transmitter facilities on Mount San Antonio in Tijuana.
While XHAS received its concession and began operations in the fall of 1981, its history stretched back to the late 1960s. In March 1968, Mario Rincón Espinosa, the head of Tele Nacional, S.A., requested and received a concession to build a UHF station in Tijuana. At this time, the callsign XHAS-TV and channel number 33 were assigned, with a visual effective radiated power of 105 kW. With the technical parameters set, Tele Nacional set out to build the station, and after some delays, it submitted the technical details in 1970. The next year, Rincón Espinosa was granted authorization to cut power in half; on several occasions in 1976, the SCT reached out to seek revised technical information and was not given a response. In July 1978, the Diario Oficial ran a notification warning that the SCT would begin an administrative proceeding to revoke the concession.
