Televisa Juárez obtained its third station in 1992, when Televisa was selected to continue its application for XHJCI-TV channel 32. After receiving its concession on September 21, 1994, channel 32 came to air with the Canal 5 network the next day, with full programming beginning on September 26.[4]
In 2005, XHJCI began carrying Las Estrellas programs as part of a shuffle of Televisa Juárez's stations.
In August 2015, XEPM and XHJCI swapped virtual channels and networks. XHJCI took on the virtual channel 2 and the local programming. XEPM's transmitter began carrying virtual channel 32 and Las Estrellas. The virtual channels were switched again in 2016. On September 16, 2018, XHJCI moved to virtual channel 8.
The station's digital channel is multiplexed:[5]
Digital subchannels
Televisa was approved to add FOROtv to six stations, primarily regional outlets, in northern Mexico in January 2018.
Analog-to-digital conversion
Due to the Mexican analog-to-digital conversion mandate, XHJCI-TV shut down its analog signal on July 14, 2015, the date set for transition in Ciudad Juárez. Earlier in the year, XHJCI was authorized for a boost in digital ERP from 50 to 200 kW, matching Televisa's other Juárez stations.
On April 29, 2016, XHJCI was cleared to move from physical channel 41 to 30 in order to accomplish the repacking of television stations out of the 600 MHz band.[6] This change occurred in late October of that year, when XHJCI moved back to virtual channel 32.
Repeater
In 2018, Televisa was approved to establish a repeater (679 watts ERP) of XHJCI located atop Cerro Bola, in order to serve Col. Villa Esperanza, a community on the southwest edge of Ciudad Juárez which is shaded from Cerro Juárez by Cerro Bola and other mountains.[7][8]
