XHPVE-4 Puerto Vallarta

The information below is from the late 1990s, so the situation at XHPVE-4 may have changed since then.

XHPVE-4 from Puerto Vallarta is an XHGC-5 relayer that runs off-network soap operas and a local newscast during the early afternoon hours on weekdays. During the local programming, the station uses "4 Vallarta" IDs. Supered calls are also used throughout the day.  This 1996 photograph is from the end of a long ID which features both live action (beach scenes) and colorful animation.

XEDK-5 Guadalajara
Televisa Guadalajara

The city of Guadalajara is Mexico's second largest. Guadalajara is about 1,000 miles from our location, which is almost perfect E-skip range. Much has changed with the Televisa stations in recent years.

XEDK Guadalajara is not received here as often as other Televisa Guadalajara stations XEWO-2 and XHG-4.

This station operated on channel 6 until 1997. Jeff Kruszka and I first saw XEDK operating on channel 5 in December 1997. According to Fernando Garcia, XEDK moved from channel 6 due to interference from high-powered FM transmitters. The ID above was taped on July 4, 1999.

XEDK-5 was independent on channel 6 and remained independent on channel 5 for a short time. Then the station relayed XHTV-4 for a short time. The station has been a Galavison/XEQ-9 relayer since 2001.

Yes, this station's transmitter is located in Jalisco

Although XHCOL-3 serves the city of Colima, Colima, this transmitter is located west-southwest of Tuxpan, Jalisco, in Atenquique. I am not sure if this is a secondary transmitter that actually serves the Tuxpan area while another transmitter on the same channel aims its signal toward Colima. It is common for Televisa and Azteca to place transmitters on opposite sides of mountains on the same channel in order to serve two different TV markets.
