XHLAR is the television call sign for the Televisa television station in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The channel can also be seen in the Laredo, Texas market.
In addition to local news and programming, XHLAR also airs a selection of Televisa's XHGC, XHTV, XEQ, and XEW programming.
An interesting coincidence is between XHLAR and the Univision affiliate KLDO-TV; they both carry some of the same TV programming provided by Televisa (in XHLAR's case, it's because it's a Televisa affiliate; in KLDO's case, Univision carries some Televisa programming in its lineup and this is thus reflected in KLDO's lineup).
The station originally signed on in the mid-1990s as XHFTX, broadcasting programming from the Fox network for Laredo; prior to XHFTX's sign-on, Laredo viewers received their Fox programs on cable either from the national Foxnet service, or from San Antonio's KABB.
In 2002, XHFTX disaffiliated from Fox and became XHLAR; Fox programming has reportedly been replaced on cable with KABB. It would be about five years before Laredo would get another local Fox affiliate, KXOF-CA.
