Encyclopedia
XHAB-TV is the television call sign for the Televisa
television station
in Matamoros, Tamaulipas
, Mexico
. The channel can also be seen in Texas' Rio Grande Valley
market. In addition to local news and programming, XHAB also airs a selection of Televisa's programming. XHAB also share a sales office with XERV-TV
in McAllen, Texas
, for sales of commercial time from American businesses.
An interesting coincidence is between XHAB and the Univision
affiliate KNVO; they both carry some of the same TV programming provided by Televisa (in XHAB's case, it's because it's a Televisa affiliate; in KNVO's case, Univision carries some Televisa programming in its lineup and this is thus reflected in KNVO's lineup).
