N+ Foro
N+ Foro is a broadcast news television channel owned by TelevisaUnivision. It is seen on most Mexican cable systems and full-time on two stations in Mexico, including XHTV-TDT in Mexico City, with selected programs airing on Televisa Regional and Televisa local stations. Foro is available on most Mexican cable and fiber-optic systems and the SKY Mexico satellite service, as well as on several national cable systems in the United States.
History
FOROtv launched on cable and satellite on 15 February 2010, and marked Televisa's return to the cable news business after operating the Noticias ECO service between 1988 and 2001. On 30 August of that year, it made its broadcast television debut when XHTV ditched its programming lineup aimed at Mexico City to carry FOROtv's programs.On 28 March 2022, the channel was rebranded to simply Foro, and is now classed as an extension of TelevisaUnivision's "N+" banner of news programming.
On 13 September 2024, Foro changes its name again, adding the logo of its production company N+, and from that day onwards it was called N+ Foro.

Stations
Full-time
Foro programming is carried full-time on Mexico City's XHTV-TDT.In January 2018, Televisa was approved to put FOROtv as a digital subchannel of six of its regional stations, primarily in northern Mexico. Another 18 stations were added in early 2018.
Part-time
Foro's lack of full-time stations, however, was traditionally supplemented by its use by Televisa's local partners and most Televisa Regional stations. Most of these stations only took selected newscasts in key dayparts. With Televisa shedding many of its local affiliate partners, these relationships have come to an end.The American version of the network departs from the main Foro schedule in late night to air domestically originated paid programming. This received voluminous criticism from American viewers, especially during breaking news situations when it overlays overnight breaking news coverage. There are occasionally some technical issues during network programming, as TelevisaUnivision must air other content over the Mexican ad breaks, usually with looping promotional advertisements for Foro itself and other TelevisaUnivision American networks, along with domestic advertising.
