MVS TV (stylized MVStv) is a Mexican

subscription television
service in the Mexico City area has been the subject of litigation since the early 2000s as part of MVS's bid to convert the concession to allow broadcast, non-pay television services over the channel.

History

Television channel launch

On September 1, 1989, MVS launched the

Javier Solórzano would work together before branching off in their distinguished journalism careers; Ferriz de Con would leave in 1999, leaving the newscast with a skeleton crew for two months before Raul Peimbert was tapped to replace him.[3][4] Additionally, MAS carried coverage of the 2000 Summer Olympics.[5]

The Channel 52 saga

In 2000, Cablevisión received concessions to operate a pay television service over channels 46 and 52 in Mexico City. The original 2000 concession restricted Cablevisión to only providing one program service per channel and provided for transmission with an effective radiated power of 250,000 watts.[6] The award of these concessions to Cablevisión had been contested by MVS since November 1994,[7] with the company claiming that the award was illegal and would affect Multivisión.[8] Ultimately, MVS was given operational control of channel 52. It announced it would use the channel to launch a new television service known as "5INCUENTAYDO2" (a stylized reading of "fifty-two", cincuenta y dos) effective October 1, 2001,[9] and it even ran promos for channel 52 in the clear—in violation of the concession, which explicitly stipulated that only pay TV services could be provided. The channel went ahead on pay and cable systems (including MVS's own) as a replacement for MAS,[9] with the name being shortened to 52MX in 2006.

In 2004, MVS received the concession itself as part of a settlement with Cablevisión.

ATSC A/70 conditional access technology and an effective radiated power of 100,000 watts.[10] In 2015, the concession was transferred to a new MVS subsidiary, Comband, S.A. de C.V.[11]

During this time, 52MX ran into additional headwinds as a consequence of MVS's decision to enter the satellite television business with Dish México. The highest-profile challenge came in July 2008, when within weeks of MVS being awarded the satellite concession, Cablevisión dropped four MVS channels, including 52MX.[12]

While the concession continued to require the transmission of a pay TV service, its technical characteristics—similar to and in the same band as broadcast television—and the 2013 overhaul of Mexican broadcasting and telecommunications law prompted MVS to seek authorization to provide a non-pay broadcast service on channel 51. In November 2014, the

Supreme Court. In 2017, the matter came back to the IFT, and the IFT said no again, preferring that MVS instead bid in the IFT-6 television station auction that was in progress at the time.[14] The MVS challenge would return again to the Supreme Court, which in October 2018 ruled in MVS's favor. MVS had argued that the 2013 telecommunications reform and the Ley Federal de Telecomunicaciones y Radiodifusión, signed into law in 2014, promoted the convergence of telecommunications and broadcasting services.[15] The IFT complied with the court order by deeming the MVS application proper on January 23, 2019 and proceeded to grant it on February 20; in exchange for a one-time payment of 61 million pesos, MVS was allowed to add a broadcast service on its channel 2, with the callsign XHMVS-TDT being allocated.[16]

In order to clear the 600 MHz band for additional mobile services, the IFT approved the substitution of VHF channel 2 for 51 in August 2018.[17] At that time, it was noted by IFT commissioner María Elena Estavillo Flores that the pay television service provided over channel 51 had only three subscribers,[18] the same number it had in 2014.[19] Due to the transmission characteristics inherent in low-VHF broadcasting, MVS requested a switch to a high-VHF channel and was reassigned channel 7 in October 2019.[20]

52MX/MVS TV on Multimedios stations

In 2016, 52MX began to appear on broadcast television for the first time after MVS struck a deal for it to appear as the fourth subchannel of

Multimedios Televisión stations in Monterrey and the state of Tamaulipas.[21][22]

On November 5, 2018, 52MX was renamed MVS TV. The rebrand coincided with the launch of MVS TV on broadcast in Mexico City, as a subchannel of Multimedios station
