XHFGL-TDT is a television station on virtual channel 15 (physical channel 7) in Victoria de Durango, Durango, Mexico. It is a social station owned and operated by the Fundación Garza Limón, A.C., associated with regional broadcaster Grupo Garza Limón, and is branded as Canal 15. The station's transmitter is located on Cerro El Tecolote.

A commercial subsidiary of Garza Limón, Radio Comunicación Gamar, S.A. de C.V., owns the station's repeater, XHRCSP-TDT, which broadcasts to Santiago Papasquiaro on physical channel 22.

History

On March 9, 2009, the Fundación Garza Limón applied for a new permit television station to serve Durango. The request was not approved by the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) until March 7, 2018.[3] By that time, another subsidiary of Garza Limón had won two television station concessions in the IFT-6 auction, for stations in Santiago Papasquiaro and at Cuencamé.

On June 6, 2019, Garza Limón surrendered the Cuencamé station concession and a concession for a social FM radio station at Tepic, Nayarit, to the IFT.[4]

On February 20, 2020, the XHFGL transmitter was activated, initially carrying Tremenda TV, a music video channel; XHRCSP soon followed. On May 25, the stations formally launched under the name 15tv (previous Canal 15) and began carrying news and other studio programming. The construction of a new antenna located within the city began in July 2021, on a property located on Cerro de los Remedios, and on September 20 was activated, providing a stronger and more stable digital signal to the city of Durango, Mex. It currently has up to 18 hours of content produced on a daily basis in their studios, with a variety of programs such as news, morning shows, interviews, entertainment and late-night shows with local hosts.[5]
