Mexico channel 2 unID in Michigan

[Robert Grant]

Had a zero offset channel 2 station in from Mexico, with some content that I hope someone could ID it with.

This was at 1905 EDT on June 22:

The audio had somewhat higher deviation (i.e., modulation - it was louder) than I am accustomed to on US and Canadian stations.

They were showing US-made pre-teen programs dubbed in Spanish. I believe the show might have been "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide", during one break, "I Carly" was definitely mentioned (now, I usually associate kidvid on Mexican TV with the XHGC-5 network - but in more than one break, the slogan "Canal De Las Estrellas" was mentioned, which I thought was the name of the XEW-2 network).

Even though the programs were aimed at children, most of the commercials were for political parties. One was an ad for a particular candidate - Carlos Joaquin. Google of the name shows he holds some type of office in Quintana Roo state, which would favor this station being XHQRO in Cancun, but, I don't know what office he is running for now, and it could be a regional or national office (e.g., an ad for Barack Obama aired on US TV last October was not necessarily WBBM!)

Hi Rob,
I also caught some kids programming, on channel 2, earlier in the day. It looked like an old "Top Cat" cartoon dubbed in Spanish along with political ads. Never did ID it though as channel 2 was very busy. Had 2 or 3 Mexican stations + WPBT + Cuba color bars with tone, all at once.
At times, Mexican stations were on channels 2 through 6. IDing the XE's can be a real pain.
FWIW... the dominant Mexican station here, yesterday, was XHY 2 Merida, Yucatan. Easy to ID because of "SIPSE" logo and ads.

The Televisa networks and local stations run promos for their sister channels. XEW (Channel of the Stars) promos are common on XHGC Canal Cinco, which airs the kid's shows, including Ned. XHQRO-2 Cancun switched from XEW to XHGC some time back. I've seen their local two-line text ID upper right several times this year. XHCCN-4 is now the XEW relayer in Cancun.

Official sources (like the ones Doug's Data depends on) are wrong about a number of Televisa's network relayers.

BTW, XHGC runs Nick programs and Azteca-7 runs Disney program.

to NN2E, I found out that "Top Cat" is shown on the Canal Cinco network in Mexico. I saw back-to-back eps on a weekday (as only 30 were produced, that'll run into the ground fast).
