History
XHTVM first signed on in 1995 as CNI Canal 40, "CNI" being an acronym for Corporación de Noticias e Información (News and Information Corporation). As CNI, XHTVM concentrated on news and discussion programming, along with some general entertainment shows and infomercials. News sources for CNI came from Telenoticias, Reuters, Telemundo, Artear, Antena 3 and NBC. This article is primarily about Reuters prior to its 2008 merger with Thomson Telemundo is an American television network based in Hialeah Florida a suburb of Miami Florida. Canal 13 is an Argentine Television network. LS85 TV Canal 13 Buenos Aires began its transmissions in 1960 Antena 3 de Television SA, ( is a Spanish television network and media company present in the Television, Radio and cinema industries The National Broadcasting Company ( NBC) is an American Television network headquartered in the GE Building in New York City's CNI also had 123 reporters and correspondents filing reports from throughout Mexico.
In 1997, programming rights for CNI were sold to CNN, which then used the station to rebroadcast CNN en Español, with the station's staff concentrating on the Mexico City area. Cable News Network, usually referred to by its Initialism CNN, is a major English language Television network founded in 1980 by Ted Turner CNN en Español is CNN 's Spanish language news network It broadcasts the latest world news business sports and entertainment headlines in Spanish 24 hours a day
In 1999, CNI partnered with TV Azteca, becoming "Azteca 40", TV Azteca's third station. TV Azteca is the second largest Mexican Television network. It was established in 1983 as the state-owned Instituto Mexicano de la Televisión Under this partnership, CNI would carry programming provided by TV Azteca, including its news and entertainment programming.
In mid-2000, station owner Javier Moreno Valle unilaterally breaks its contract with TV Azteca, removing the network's programming from the air. As a result, TV Azteca sued Valle for breach of contract.
In December of 2002, TV Azteca used armed guards to take over the station and its transmitting facilities in Cerro del Chiquihuite, renaming the channel to "Azteca 40" again; this situation caused a lot of criticism against TV Azteca and the lack of action on RTC part (RTC claimed that all its representatives were in holiday); in the mean time, CNI keep transmitting its programming on cable.
Fox would end up being questioned why he permitted the take of CNI's installations. When questioned in the presidential plane on the subject, Fox merely said, "¿Y yo por qué?" ("And why me?"), leading to one of his greatest political blunders in his tenure as president.
After the end of holiday celebrations, RTC take the matter in its hands and determined that the take over of XHTVM frequency was illegal (in TV Azteca part) and asked for the retirement of Azteca's personnel from Chiquihuite installation.
Months later, after much fuzz in the media, CNI's owners would get back their control of Chiquihuite installations.
However, shortly after the station's crisis with TV Azteca, CNI would suffer financial problems, and a looming threat of a strike by its employees.
General Electric was willing to help ease CNI's financial woes, but was not allowed to, due to the Mexican government's stance against foreign ownership of broadcasters.
On May 19, 2005, XHTVM suspended operations, due to a strike by its unionised staff, mounting financial troubles, Valle's legal troubles, and an investigation of TV Azteca and the Fox administration for tax evasion and fraud.
After several legal mistrials against Moreno Valle, XHTVM returned to the air in early 2006, now under its current moniker: Proyecto 40 (Project 40). The station would continue to carry its slate of news and entertainment programming, but without interference from the large media companies.
However, in late November of 2007, Mr. Moreno Valle's lawyers demanded TV Azteca for the ilegal broadcasts of Channel 40,(Proyecto 40) claiming that TV Azteca can not use such station because Mr. Moreno Valle is still the rightful owner of Channel 40. It is TV Azteca who is controlling the station financially. Moreno Valle is the owner of Televisora del Valle de Mexico, or (Valley of Mexico's Network in English). To date, TV Azteca has not been able to win the legal dispute despite that TV Azteca has maintained control of Channel 40 for 2 years and that Mr. Hernan Cabalceta Vara, the man who released Channel 40 for TV Azteca in 2006 was summoned for trial. CNI Channel 40 was the first TV station in Mexico City ever to be on strike, and was later absorbed almost entirely by its rival, TV Azteca.
Why TV Azteca is operating Channel 40
TV Azteca is using XHTVM because in July of 1998, Javier Moreno Valle, owner of the TV station, signed a deal with Ricardo Salinas Pliego, owner of TV Azteca that would allow him to control half of Channel 40. In doing so, Channel "Azteca 40" or "Aztec 40" began its transmissions in 1998. CNI would only use the other half of the station with its own productions, such as "CNI Noticias" or "CNI News" which was conducted by journalist Ciro Gomez Leyva and Dennis Maerker. CNI Noticias was the most important program of CNI, although it had other TV productions. However, TV Azteca used the channel filling it up with left over TV Azteca programs. Mr. Moreno Valle believed that TV Azteca cheated, and in the year 2000, Mr. Moreno Valle announced oficially dead CNI TV Azteca alliance, getting back XHTVM's CNI programming. However, after the strike that killed CNI, TV Azteca tried again to use the TV station, this time with the aid of the then Federal Government of Vicente Fox and money from TV Azteca that supposedly ended the strike that started May 19 2005. TV Azteca says that because of the deal they made with Moreno Valle in 1998, they can operate Channel 40 with their own programming, despite that XHTVM is still being debated in courts. The deal ends in July of 2008, and so it will end the alliance between TV Azteca and CNI.
