XHUS-TV signed on air in 1965 with 1 kW of power; it was officially launched on December 4 of that year.
It shared studio facilities with XEUS-AM "Radio Universidad" and broadcast from 8 to 10pm, Monday through Friday.
However, the conversion of the original DWM transmitter to color operation caused problems.
At last, in 1979, channel 8 returned to the air under agreement with the Instituto Politécnico Nacional, through which XHUS rebroadcast its Canal Once via microwave link.
