Let’s explore further to learn how can we watch ADN 40 channel Live on our devices.

Story of ADN 40; XHTVM TDT

The Diario Oficial de la Federación announced on June 28, 1991, that channel 40 in Mexico City is now an independent marketing tv station. The transmitter for the planned station would be located atop Cerro del Chiquihuite and have a 5,000 kW effective radiated power. It was also given the callsign XHEXI-TV, which would never be used on the air. For the first time in decades, the availability of a new television station in Mexico City drew high-powered media organizations looking to break into the television market. Ten applications out of a total of 18 qualified for the new television station’s concession. Among the participants were Francisco Aguirre Gómez of Grupo Radio Centro, Rafael Cutberto Navarro of Radio Cadena Nacional, Grupo Siete Comunicación, and other radio station owners.

On September 23, that year, Javier Moreno Valle’s Televisora del Valle de México, S.A., a business controlled 95% by Javier Moreno Valle and 5% by Hernán Cabalceta, was chosen to run the television station on channel 40. While it was announced at the time that channel 40 will be on the air in the first half of 1992, it would take another three years for normal operations to begin. The effective radiated power had increased to 3,190 kilowatts by the time the concession was finally given on April 19, 1993, and the station had a new callsign: XHTVM-TV.

2017- present

On March 12, 2017, at 9 p.m., a special show unveiled Proyecto 40’s “evolution” broadcast. Regular programming of the renamed XHTVM, now known as ADN 40, commenced the next morning at 6 a.m. The rebranding coincided with the channel’s relaunch, which included new seats and a redesigned programming schedule.

Where can you find and watch ADN 40 channel Live?

In December 2006, XHTVM requested channel 41 to establish its digital facilities; the following year, Azteca sought channel 26, requesting that all three of its Mexico City stations be placed on adjacent channels. XHTVM’s analog and digital facilities remained on separate towers until 2015, when Azteca erected final, high-powered digital facilities for its Mexico City stations. XHTVM-transmitter TDT’s was co-located with that of XHIMT-TV/TDT and XHDF-TV/TDT, and the XHTVM analog signal came from the purpose-built channel 40 facilities.

Digital subchannels-

Channel	Video	Aspect	Short name	Network	Programming
40.1	108i	16:9	XHTVM	ADN 40	Main XHTVM-TDT programming/ADN 40
40.2	480i	16:9	XHTVM	Azteca Uno-2 hours	2 hours timeshift feed of XHDF

Azteca was given permission in April 2017 to drop Azteca Uno’s 2-hour timeshift feed from 40.2 in favor of Azteca Noticias, which had previously been on XHIMT 7.2. Azteca ultimately decided to keep the present programming.

Conversion from Analog to Digital

XHTVM’s digital signal was transferred to the original channel 40 towers in 2015 when complete digital facilities were installed. The actually reflected wave of XHTVM increased from 71.4 to 513.05 kW, making it Mexico’s strongest digital television station. XHTVM and other Mexico City stations stopped broadcasting analog at midnight on December 17, 2015. The station’s digital signal remained on pre-transition UHF channel 26 on digital television receivers, with PSIP displaying XHTVM’s virtual channel as 40.

Access ADN 40 outside Mexico

Outside of Mexico City, CNI’s sole full-time access was via cable and satellite networks. However, its news programs were broadcast on a number of stations in northern Mexico, including XHIJ, XHILA, and XHPNW; Monterrey’s Multimedios Televisión; and the state networks of Campeche (TRC) and Yucatán (Canal Trece). XHRBT-TV, a never-built station on channel 42 in Ro Bravo, Tamaulipas, whose concession was won by an affiliate of Javier Moreno Valle in 1999, and an unnamed “channel 38” serving Puebla, Cuernavaca, and Toluca were among the stations advertised as “coming soon.”

Outside of Mexico City, Proyecto 40’s broadcast coverage was first expanded in November 2012, when 16 Azteca Trece transmitters in significant cities began broadcasting Proyecto 40 in SD as a second subchannel.  In 2016, TV Azteca petitioned the Federal Telecommunications Institute to add Proyecto 40 to 29 new transmitters, three of which broadcast Azteca 7; these Azteca 7 stations were converted to a+ in May 2018. In 2017, further 28 transmitters were installed. Carriage of ADN40 should be made mandatory for satellite providers, according to the IFT, because it is multiplexed on dozens of Azteca transmitters and so has coverage of 67 percent of Mexico’s population. 

Because practically all of ADN 40’s transmissions are carried by Azteca Uno transmitters, it appears to most viewers outside of Mexico City as subchannel 1.2.

Programs that you can enjoy on XHTVM-TDT

The majority of ADN 40’s programming consists of news and debate shows, as well as documentaries. Primer Café, a morning news show, and Es Tendencia, an afternoon news program, are two of the most popular news programs on ADN 40.

XHTVM used to broadcast more general entertainment programming as Proyecto 40. In September 2008, TV Azteca and Showtime in the United States announced an arrangement under which Proyecto 40 began to broadcast Dexter, Nurse Jackie, and other Showtime shows.
