XHSAW-TDT was a television station in Sabinas Hidalgo and Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. It was owned by Multimedios Televisión and broadcast on physical channel 21.

History

XHSAW received its concession on August 1, 1994. The original concessionaire was Multimedios head Francisco Antonio González Sánchez.

The concession for XHSAW was not renewed, with the station closing on December 31, 2021.

Digital television

The station's digital signal is multiplexed:

Channel	Video	Aspect	Short name	Programming
12.1	1080i	16:9	XHSAW	Teleritmo
12.2	480i			Milenio Televisión
12.3				CV Shopping
12.4				MVS TV

On September 24, 2015, XHSAW shut off its analog signal; its digital signal on UHF channel 21 remained.^[3] Until 2016, XHSAW shared major virtual channel 12 with XHAW-TDT. It used channel 13 between 2017 and 2018, when it moved back to 12 after Multimedios's other stations changed to channel 6.

On March 4, 2020, the IFT authorized the removal of Milenio TV in favor of sports channel xMD, with Teleritmo moving to XHSAW-TDT2; the change would have seen Milenio move to XHAW's spectrum.^[4] The move never took place due to the COVID-19 pandemic effectively making the move of xMD non-viable.
