## History

Logo used as Televisa Nuevo Laredo

On 9 March 1994, Radiotelevisora de México Norte, S.A. de C.V., a subsidiary of Televisa, was authorized to build 62 new stations, including channel 57 in Nuevo Laredo, with the call sign XHNUL-TV. XHNUL and sister [XHRTA-TV](/source/XHTAM-TDT) in [Reynosa](/source/Reynosa), however, did not sign on with Mexican programming.

Instead, channel 57 signed on for the first time on 4 September of that same year as XHFTX-TV, broadcasting programming from the [Fox](/source/Fox_Broadcasting_Company) network for [Laredo, Texas](/source/Laredo%2C_Texas). Prior to XHFTX's sign-on, Laredo viewers received their Fox programs on cable, either from the national [Foxnet](/source/Foxnet) service or from [KRRT](/source/KMYS) in [San Antonio](/source/San_Antonio).

In 2002, XHFTX, along with XHFOX in Reynosa, disaffiliated from Fox, with the station changing its call sign to XHLAR-TV; Fox programming was reportedly replaced on cable with San Antonio's [KABB](/source/KABB). It would be about five years before Laredo would get another local Fox affiliate, [KXOF-CA](/source/KXOF-CA). XHLAR then became Televisa Nuevo Laredo, carrying local programming as well as re-airs of programs from the other Televisa networks, including series from [Canal 5](/source/Canal_5_(Mexico)) and live sports from [Gala TV](/source/Gala_TV_(Mexico)).

In February 2013, XHLAR began broadcasting in digital on channel 38.1 (virtual 57.1); it upgraded its signal to 1080i HD in March 2014.

In 2018, the concessions of all Las Estrellas stations were consolidated in the concessionaire Televimex, S.A. de C.V., as part of a corporate reorganization of Televisa's concessionaires.
