A commercial subsidiary of Garza Limón, Radio Comunicación Gamar, S.A. de C.V., owns the station's repeater, XHRCSP-TDT, which broadcasts to Santiago Papasquiaro on physical channel 22.

History edit

On March 9, 2009, the Fundación Garza Limón applied for a new permit television station to serve Durango. The request was not approved by the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) until March 7, 2018.[3] By that time, another subsidiary of Garza Limón had won two television station concessions in the IFT-6 auction, for stations in Santiago Papasquiaro and at Cuencamé.

On June 6, 2019, Garza Limón surrendered the Cuencamé station concession and a concession for a social FM radio station at Tepic, Nayarit, to the IFT.[4]

On February 20, 2020, the XHFGL transmitter was activated, initially carrying Tremenda TV, a music video channel; XHRCSP soon followed. On May 25, the stations formally launched under the name 15tv (previous Canal 15) and began carrying news and other studio programming. The construction of a new antenna located within the city began in July 2021, on a property located on Cerro de los Remedios, and on September 20 was activated, providing a stronger and more stable digital signal to the city of Durango, Mex. It currently has up to 18 hours of content produced on a daily basis in their studios, with a variety of programs such as news, morning shows, interviews, entertainment and late-night shows with local hosts.[5]
