History
On 22 November 2022, the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) authorized the addition of channel 8.3 to the XHFAMX-TDT multiplex in Mexico City, operated by El Heraldo de México. [1] The authorization was granted to provide a generalist programming service, differentiating it from purely religious broadcasters. The channel officially launched on 28 January 2023. [2] Its slogan, "Televisión que une a la familia" (Television that unites the family), reflects its focus on family-oriented content.
Expansion
On 4 September 2024, Unife expanded its coverage significantly by launching on subchannel 13.2 of the Canal 13 network (owned by Telsusa). This agreement extended the network's reach to nineteen additional transmitters. This expansion allowed the network to cover key states in southeastern Mexico, including Yucatán, Campeche, Tabasco, Chiapas, and Quintana Roo. [3]
In addition to its terrestrial broadcast, Unife operates a streaming platform at video.unife.mx in partnership with Ottera, providing on-demand access to its programming. The network also offers a mobile application called "Unife México" available on iOS and Android devices, allowing viewers to watch live broadcasts and on-demand content on smartphones and tablets.
