XHCJE-TDT, virtual channel 1 (UHF digital channel 34), is an Azteca Uno owned-and-operated television station located in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico. The station is owned by the TV Azteca subsidiary of Grupo Salinas.
History
The station signed on in 1981, 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; local facilities opened on August 11, 1992. In 2005, XHCJE-TV began broadcasting in high definition. The channel was then reassigned to channel 1 in 2016, as part of a nationwide move of Azteca Trece to that virtual channel.
XHCJE-TV shares resources with El Paso Telemundo affiliate KTDO and NBC affiliate KTSM-TV especially with violence in Juárez.
Programming
Currently, XHCJE-TDT broadcasts the entire schedule of Azteca Uno, with local advertisements and local news broadcasts. News opt-outs Hechos Meridiano Juárez, a news program that debuted in 2001 to compete against the Noticiero 56 newscast on competing station XHJUB (now Las Noticias on XEPM). Hechos Meridiano Juárez is broadcast weekdays from 3:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., and is anchored by Ricardo García and Gabriela Salazar.
