XHAS-TDT (channel 33) is a television station in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, carrying Canal 66. It is owned by a Mexican company whose largest single investor is Entravision Communications, a U.S.-based broadcaster with radio and television stations in San Diego, including Univision affiliate KBNT-CD (channel 17), and a similar interest in Milenio Televisión affiliate XHDTV-TDT (channel 49). XHAS-TDT's transmitter is on Mount San Antonio in Tijuana.
XHAS began broadcasting in 1981 and initially devoted most of its time to rebroadcasting programs from XEW television in Mexico City. It joined Telemundo in 1990 and continued to broadcast its programming until 2017, when Telemundo parent NBCUniversal opted to take the network in-house. It then switched to airing Azteca América programming.
