XHDE began broadcasting on November 1, 1975, making it the first truly local television station in San Luis Potosí.
XHDE maintained a partnership with Televisa and carried programming from FOROtv, resulting in the station being defined as within the "preponderant economic agent" in broadcasting for regulatory purposes; 80 percent of its programming in 2014 was sourced from the company.
[3] Televisa programming was removed from XHDE in 2018 after the company multiplexed FOROtv on its own transmitter in San Luis Potosí.
On November 12, 2020, a strike began as unionized employees blocked access to the station.
The station had been in poor financial condition since the disaffiliation from Televisa.
