XHK-TDT channel 10 is an affiliate of Televisa operating in La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico, founded by Francisco King Rondero on June 3, 1968. The station is owned by Televisión La Paz, S. A., a broadcasting company owned by Guadalupe Lucero Alvarez. Its offices and studio are located in Colina del Sol on the eastern side of the city of La Paz.

Programming on XHK includes local news, sports like soccer and lucha libre, movies, soap operas, sitcoms, and international shows. It has its own production studio and post-production suites, used for local news, programming and commercials for local businesses in La Paz. Most of Televisa's programming seen on XHK originates from FOROtv and Gala TV.

Despite being authorized for digital television and obtaining technical approval to broadcast on channel 34, the station went off air with the analog shutdown on December 31, 2015. An SCT representative noted that the station was lacking in administrative, financial and technical capacity, but that XHK could return to the air in digital.[3] Another issue casting their ability to resume transmissions into doubt is that the station had not paid employees for several pay periods, failing to pay Christmas bonuses, social security or savings fund contributions,[4] and the union representing 28 of XHK's 40 employees was considering going on strike. Later that month, electrical service was shut off to the Canal 10 studios for nonpayment.[5]
