The station's license and transmitter are owned by Mexican company Televisora Alco, which is 40% owned by station operator Entravision Communications;[3] XHDTV is a sister station to Entravision-owned Univision affiliate KBNT-CD (channel 17), UniMás affiliate KDTF-LD (channel 36) and Azteca América affiliate XHAS-TDT (channel 33). The four stations share studios on Ruffin Road in the Kearny Mesa section of San Diego, California, United States; XHDTV's transmitter is located on Cerro Bola, within the municipality of Tecate. Despite no longer carrying American content, XHDTV continues to be carried on channel 13 by San Diego Cox systems on the U.S. side of the market; the station is also carried in Tijuana on Izzi channel 49.
