XHLAR-TDT is the television call sign for the Televisa Regional television station in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The channel can also be seen in the Laredo, Texas market. In addition to local news and programming, XHLAR also airs a selection of programming from Televisa's Canal de las Estrellas, FOROtv, Canal 5, and Gala TV networks. Beginning in February 2013, XHLAR started broadcasting in digital on channel 38.1 (57.1) and it started broadcasting in 1080i HD in March 2014.

History

The station originally signed on for the first time on September 3, 1995 as XHFTX-TV, broadcasting programming from the Fox network for Laredo; prior to XHFTX's sign-on, Laredo viewers received their Fox programs on cable either from the national Foxnet service, or from San Antonio's Fox affiliates, first KRRT, and later KABB.

In 2002, XHFTX disaffiliated from Fox and became XHLAR-TV; Fox programming was reportedly replaced on cable with KABB. It would be about five years before Laredo would get another local Fox affiliate, KXOF-CA.

An interesting coincidence is between XHLAR and the Univision affiliate KLDO-TV; they both carry some of the same TV programming provided by Televisa (in XHLAR's case, it's because it's a Televisa affiliate; in KLDO's case, Univision carries some Televisa programming in its lineup and this is thus reflected in KLDO's lineup).
