History

In 1983, the state government of Enrique González Pedrero created CORAT, and the state government received permits for noncommercial television stations,[3] as well as AM and FM networks.[4]

In October 1997, Televisión Tabasqueña, S.A. de C.V., a company owned 99.93 percent by the state of Tabasco with the remainder owned by Juan Manuel Cervantes Martínez,[5] received commercial television station concessions for stations at Villahermosa (XHSTA-TV channel 7), La Venta (XHVET-TV channel 5) and Tenosique (XHTET-TV channel 10). TVT was one of three state networks (along with Telemax in Sonora and XHST-TDT in Yucatán) where part or all of the network had commercial concessions, not noncommercial permits.

In 2015, TVT migrated to digital television. In December 2015, the IFT allowed Televisión Tabasqueña to convert its concessions from commercial to public as part of renewing them.[6]

In March 2018, in order to facilitate the repacking of TV services out of the 600 MHz band (channels 38-51), XHSTA was assigned channel 34 for continued digital operations. The other two transmitters are already on channel 34.
