Nueve (English: Nine) (stylizedNu9ve) is a Mexicanfree-to-airtelevision network owned byTelevisaUnivision. The primary station and network namesake is Channel 9 ofMexico City (also known by its call signXEQ-TDT), though the network has nationwide coverage on Televisa stations and some affiliates. Nueve offers a range of general entertainment programs.

The roots of Nueve go back to the foundation ofTelevisión Independiente de México, the first serious contender toTelesistema Mexicano. In 1973, the two companies merged to form Televisión Vía Satélite, better known as Televisa (now known asTelevisaUnivision Mexico).

After years of broadcasting primarily cultural programs, channel 9 in Mexico City returned to commercial programming in the mid-1990s, under the name Galavisión. This Galavisión was unrelated tothe American cable channel of the same name, also owned by TelevisaUnivision.

On April 15, 2013, Galavisión changed its name to Gala TV.^[1]

Gala TV programs were traditionally carried out at a number of Televisa-affiliated local stations. In 2017, Televisa ended a significant number of these partnerships and began multiplexing Gala TV on various Canal 5 transmitters in larger markets.

On July 9, 2018, the network relaunched as Nueve, with a new programming lineup. The branding reflects the fact that its Mexico City stationXEQ-TDT and most of its retransmitters broadcast on virtual channel 9.

The Nueve schedule features mainly reruns of major Mexicantelenovelas, reruns of TelevisaUnivision Mexico series, as well assoccer andlucha libre and old Mexican movies.^[2] On March 18, 2008, it was announced that an agreement was made between Televisa and NBCUniversal that Galavisión would broadcast Telemundo programs on Galavisión as well as on selected channels ofSKY México and Cablevision beginning in April 2008.^[3]

As part of the Nueve relaunch, Televisa signed deals withDiscovery andNational Geographic to air their content.^[4] The relaunch also included a new entertainment program,Intrusos, hosted by entertainment journalist Juan José Origel.^[2]

Nueve is not nominally a national network; unlikeLas Estrellas orCanal 5, it does not meet the national coverage threshold necessary to be considered one by theFederal Telecommunications Institute.

There is significant variance in the programming schedules of Nueve and its stations, not seen with Las Estrellas or Canal 5.

Some stations are full-time repeaters, usually broadcasting on channel 9.1, clearing all Nueve programming while only inserting local advertising. Others also carryFOROtv, Televisa Regional, and/or local programs.

There are also several Nueve feeds multiplexed on (primarily) Canal 5 transmitters, which carry Nueve programming full-time. Some of these subchannels may also have local programming.^[5]

Not all Mexican stations using virtual channel 9 are part of the Nueve network. In some cases, these stations block Nu9ve from using channel 9 in those areas. Most notably, the list includesCORTV in Oaxaca,XHUJED-TDT in Durango andXHSLS-TDT in San Luis Potosí. Televisa also owns Las Estrellas transmitterXERV-TDT in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, which has assigned channel 9. The stations in Tijuana, Mexicali and Ciudad Juárez cannot use virtual channel 9 because of signal overlap to stations in the United States using it.
