The station would transmit from the Cerro de las Noas southwest of Torreón with a height above average terrain of 187 meters.

When Castañeda got involved in the creation of the Tele-Cadena Mexicana network, XHIA became part of it and was one of its several stations affiliated to Televisión Independiente de México.

The strikers claimed violations of their collective contract, including unjustified firings and failure to make mandated contributions.

After a 2004, expiration of their concessions, concerns about the continued legality of the Acosta Castañeda stations arose, and they would each disappear after being raided by federal authorities.

For XHIA, that raid would come on August 24, 2006, when federal authorities seized the station, by now exclusively broadcasting from a studio at its mountaintop site, and took it off the air.
