XHFW came to air on analog channel 9 on March 8, 1971;[2] the inaugural program on that first day featured the Fight of the Century boxing match.
XHFW formerly broadcast Nu9ve programming until December 31, 2019; on January 1, 2020, Nu9ve moved to a subchannel of Televisa-owned XHTPZ-TDT, using virtual channel 9.
On January 11, 2021, operation of XHFW was transferred to a new group headed by Martín Flores Echavarría (no relation), most programs canceled, and the station relaunched as "Canal 10.1, El Poder de tu Imagen".
The new station will be affiliated with Heraldo TV, airing several national programs, along with a new lineup of locally produced shows.
[6] The move came two months after the IFT authorized on November 18 the inclusion of a second subchannel on the station, which is to be known as City Channel and programmed by VOIP Comunicación Digital, S.A. de C.V.
