History
The station was founded in 1961 as Canal 3 Televisora de Puebla and started broadcasting on May 5, 1966 (anniversary of the Battle of Puebla) with a live event from the Municipal Theatre.[2]
In 1969, when XHTM-TV in Mexico City went live, it became a part of Televisión Independiente de México's network.[3] From its inception to May 31, 1984, it aired a newscast, Día a Día.[2] Following the merger of Telesistema Mexicano and TIM to create Televisa, the station continued relaying XHTM.[4]
Noteworthy past children's programs included El club de la Buena Suerte and Tan Amigos.[5] By 2003, it was carrying limited local programs and a variety of imports.[6]
In March 2002, XHP was added to Sky México, enabling nationwide coverage for the station.[2] On September 21, 2004, the station renewed its license to operate until December 31, 2021.[7]
On March 14, 2015, the station was given approval from IFT to change its name from TV3 to Televisa Puebla.[8] Its analog signal was switched off on December 17, 2015.[9]
