XERV-TDT

XERV-TDT (channel 9) is a television station located in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, whose over-the-air signal also covers the Rio Grande Valley across the international border in the United States.

The station broadcasts local programming and news centered on the Rio Grande Valley instead of Reynosa and Matamoros.

Local programming included selected games (mainly Saturday contests) of the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees ice hockey team.

XERV also shares an office with XHAB-TDT in McAllen, Texas, for the sale of commercial time from American businesses.

Despite not posing any signal overlap with U.S. stations in the Rio Grande Valley, virtual channel 2 (the channel assigned to the Las Estrellas network) was not available to XERV, as it was already assigned to sister station and co-repeater XHTAM-TDT, which has carried Las Estrellas programming since 2002.
