History

Telever was founded in 1962 by Carlos Ferráez Matos.
XHFM-TV was set up by Televisión Independiente de México, who had signed on their first station in Monterrey in 1963, and was eyeing nationwide expansion. The station was licensed to Televisión del Golfo, S.A. and broadcast on VHF channel 2, relaying Canal 8. Ahead of its summer 1963 launch, the station received Donald H. Coyle as its programming purchasing agent and sales representant, working for ABC International. The license started its commercial broadcasts in November 1966.
After the 1973 TIM-TSM merger, the station was integrated into Televisa's regional framework, first by becoming a relayer of XHTV-TV. From June 1, 1983, it adopted the Telever brand by connecting to XHAI-TV in Las Lajas and XHP-TV in Puebla. XHFM became the flagship of the new tri-state network which encompassed Veracruz, Puebla and Tlaxcala. During Telever's initial phase, it operated from 2pm to 2am daily. A few months after the launch of the new Telever, the station shared a report with RTV in November that year of the Acosta Lagunes government. By 1985, it had four repeaters installed throughout the state.
In April 2001, the station joined Galavisión, led by XEQ.
