Canal 45

XHBJ-TDT channel 45 is a television station in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. Owned by Cadena Baja California, the station rebroadcasts Televisa's Gala TV network, with a 2-hour delay and local ads.

This station began as a music television channel with some local shows, later becoming a rebroadcaster for XEQ-TV, Mexico's Galavision (no relation to Univision's cable channel). The station still shows videos late in the evening before sign-off.

From 2006 to 2012, the station was affiliated with Televisa's Canal 5 network. In early 2012, Galavisión programming returned to XHBJ-TV, with Canal 5 moving to XETV-TV, where it was broadcast on analog channel 6 and digital channel 6.2.

XHBJ added a digital signal in the late 2000s on channel 44, where it remained after Tijuana's first-in-Mexico digital conversion in 2013. However, due to the use of PSIP, DTV receivers show XHBJ-TDT as 45.1.

Analog to digital conversion

Due to the Mexican analog to digital conversion mandate, XHBJ-TV discontinued its analog signal on May 28, 2013. Tijuana was the first city where the analog to digital conversion begins in Mexico. However, due to penetration problems and impending local elections[2] the other television stations restored their analog signals again two days after (to turn them off again in August), with the exception of XHBJ.
