XHCJE-TV, KTDO of Las Cruces and KTSM-TV of El Paso share resources especially with violence in Juárez.

History

The station signed on in 1980, initially as a satellite of XHCH-TV, at the time a rare local station owned by then-Mexican public broadcaster Imevisión. Ricardo Salinas Pliego would acquire Imevisión in 1993, becoming TV Azteca, which gave way to the construction of the facilities of TV Azteca Ciudad Juárez, which opened on August 11, 1993. In 2005, XHCJE-TV began broadcasting in HD. The channel was then reassigned to channel 1 in 2016, as part of a nationwide move of Azteca Trece to that virtual channel.

Programming

Currently, XHCJE-TDT broadcasts the entire schedule of Azteca Trece, with local advertisements and local news broadcasts. News opt-outs Hechos Meridiano Juárez, a news program that debuted in 2000 to compete against the Noticiero 56 newscast on competing station XHJUB. Hechos Meridiano Juárez is broadcast weekdays from 3:30 pm to 4:00 pm, and is anchored by Ricardo García and Gabriela Salazar. An evening newscast, Hechos Noche Juárez, is broadcast weeknights at 10:00 p.m.-11:00 pm, anchored by Gabriela Aguilar and Luis Alfonso Higareda. Local inserts are also broadcast during Azteca 13's morning program, Hechos AM.
