XHTM-TDT is a television station licensed to and broadcasting from Altzomoni, State of Mexico on virtual channel 10. Founded in 1952, it was the second television station built outside of Mexico City and the first relayer.
XHTM, along with Canal 5 transmitter XEX, serves one of Mexico's largest television service areas with a string of transmitters stretching from Taxco de Alarcón, Guerrero to Tlaxcala, Tlaxcala, including transmitters in Pachuca, Hidalgo, Cuernavaca, Morelos and San Martín Texmelucan, Puebla. XHTM's digital transmitter was initially located at Televisa's Puebla transmitter site along with the digital operations of its Altzomoni sister stations and both analog and digital signals of Televisa's Puebla independent XHP-TV; in 2015, final digital facilities were built on Altzomoni, coinciding with a power increase from 45 kW to 236.
XHTM channel 10 started life with a different callsign and channel number. In late 1952,XEQ-TV channel 9 took to the air; owned by Emilio Azcárraga and bearing the callsign of his XEQ AM radio in Mexico City, it was the second television station outside of the nation's capital (preceded only by XELD-TV in Matamoros) and the nation's fourth. The original concessionaire was Radio Panamericana, S.A., making it a direct sister station to XEQ radio. The transmission from Paso de Cortés (Cortez Pass), 13,405 feet (4,086 m) high, was said to make channel 9 the world's highest television station. The sign-on of XEQ-TV was the first step in the development of a national relay network, reaching an additional three million people. Not long after, Romulo O'Farrill built his own relay station on the mountain, XEX-TV. The establishment of XEQ thus led to Televisa's massive system of relay stations covering most of Mexico.
