History

The station signed on in 1981, initially as a satellite of XHCH-TV, at the time a rare local station owned by then-Mexican public broadcaster Imevisión. Ricardo Salinas Pliego would acquire Imevisión in 1993, becoming TV Azteca; local facilities opened on August 11, 1992. In 2005, XHCJE-TV began broadcasting in high definition. The channel was then reassigned to channel 1 in 2016, as part of a nationwide move of Azteca Trece to that virtual channel.

XHCJE-TV shares resources with El Paso Telemundo affiliate KTDO and NBC affiliate KTSM-TV especially with violence in Juárez.

Programming

Currently, XHCJE-TDT broadcasts the entire schedule of Azteca Uno, with local advertisements and local news broadcasts. News opt-outs Hechos Meridiano Juárez, a news program that debuted in 2001 to compete against the Noticiero 56 newscast on competing station XHJUB (now Las Noticias on XEPM). Hechos Meridiano Juárez is broadcast weekdays from 3:30 to 4 p.m., and is anchored by Ricardo García and Gabriela Salazar. An evening newscast, Hechos Noche Juárez, is broadcast weeknights from 10 to 11 p.m., anchored by Gabriela Aguilar and Luis Alfonso Higareda. Local inserts are also broadcast during Azteca Uno's morning program, Hechos AM.

XHCJE also broadcasts games of the Indios de Ciudad Juárez soccer club, broadcast on tape delay Fridays at 11:45 p.m.
