History

XHUJAT received its concession on August 6, 2015, making it the first university television station in southeastern Mexico.

The station was expected to launch in June or July 2016 with an initial budget of 25 million pesos.[3] The station would initially produce four programs with the others coming from other university television stations in Mexico, according to reports around the time of the concession award.

In late October 2016, XHUJAT turned on its transmitter, located on the university campus. The station launched on November 7.
