XHUAA-TDT,virtual channel 19 (UHFdigital channel 22), is aLas Estrellastelevision station inTijuana, Baja California, Mexico, whose over-the-air signal also covers theSan Diego–Tijuana region across theMexico–United States border. The station is owned byGrupo Televisa. XHUAA began broadcasting in digital on UHF 22 in early 2006 making it the second station in Tijuana (and at the time one of very few in Mexico) to have a digital signal (sister stationXETV was the first).
XHUAA signed on in 1990; its original concessionaire was Radiotelevisora de La Rumorosa, S.A. de C.V.
Since 2003, the station is available nationwide onSky México andIzzi Telecom, where it replacedPonchivisión on both operators due to a mutual agreement.[3]

FOROtv relocated fromXEWT-TDT 12.2 in June 2019.
By then-current Mexican law, XHUAA was suggested to start broadcastingdigital television by January 1, 2010, although this station was allowed at its discretion to start broadcasting DTV before law required it to, and XHUAA-TDT had signed on in 2006. The original assignment was channel 20,[5] but the chosen channel caused issues to land mobile services in Los Angeles, prompting the FCC in the United States to request a channel change.
Due to the conversion mandate, XHUAA-TV shut down its analog signal on May 28, 2013 and again on July 18, 2013, due to issues relating to elections.[6] Tijuana was the first Mexican city to start the analog to digital conversion in Mexico.
XHUAA retained its virtual channel of 57 after October 2016 because channel 2 would create a channel conflict withKCBS-TV over portions ofSan Diego County. On March 6, 2020, it moved to the lowest number available in Tijuana, from channel 57 to channel 19.
XHUAA operateslow-powerrepeaters inTecate[7] and Col. Playas de Tijuana.[8]
