History
In 1981, the Productora de Televisión de Chiapas was created to provide local opt-out programming on Televisión de la República Mexicana, which was channel 2 in Tuxtla Gutiérrez and San Cristóbal de las Casas. In 1988, this organization became the Sistema Chiapaneco de Televisión. The privatization of Imevisión, TRM's successor forced the Chiapas state government to begin building their own transmitters, and XHTTG came to air with provisional facilities on September 20, 1993. Full power transmissions began that November.
In 2001, the SCT was expanded to include the state's radio stations, the earliest of which had signed on in 1973.
On December 31, 2015, the San Cristóbal and Tuxtla analog transmitters were shut down as part of the digital transition. However, other transmitters remained offering analog service as part of a one-year extension granted to various permit stations. Neither transmitter does not use PSIP to map to its old channel 10; instead, they display their physical channels.
Transmitters
An additional 25 shadow channels are authorized in digital to broadcast the network at low powers.
