XHJMA-TV was a television station in Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua, Mexico, broadcasting on channel 3 from 1969 until April 2014.
After receiving its concession in September 1964,[1] XHJMA took to the air sometime in 1969 as the first television station in Hidalgo del Parral.
The station allocations were put up for bidding, and in most areas Corporación Mexicana de Radio y Televisión or Tele-Radio Nacional, two state-owned enterprises, won the concessions and maintained the stations as repeaters of the Canal 13 network (today Azteca Trece).
[9] However, XHJMA went off the air for good on March 25, 2014, when inspectors on behalf of the new Federal Telecommunications Institute visited Hidalgo del Parral, where they had received word that a channel 3 was operating without any concession or permit.
XHJMA's staff noted that the station was completely unaware of its murky legal status, even though Castañeda had died in November 2009.
