Proyecto 40, is a television network operated by TV Azteca in Mexico. Programming generally consists of news, informational and entertainment shows. XHTVM is the flagship station of the network.
History
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Proyecto 40 grew from a single station, XHTVM-TV in Mexico City, which signed on in 1995. XHTVM was originally majority-owned and operated by Javier Moreno Valle as CNI Canal 40, a news-oriented outlet.
On July 29, 1998,[1] CNI partnered with TV Azteca, becoming "Azteca 40", TV Azteca's third station. Under this partnership, TV Azteca sold the advertising time and programmed 21.5 hours of the station's broadcast day; CNI retained 2.5 hours a day of programming. The partnership was broken off in 2000 when Moreno Valle turned on Azteca, alleging breach of contract. Azteca would take control of the station again in December 2002, when it used private security guards to forcibly take over the Cerro del Chiquihuite transmitter site, and again in 2005, after CNI shut down due to an employee strike and Azteca worked with minority owner Hernán Cabalceta to ensure it had the legal rights to broadcast. The current Proyecto 40 started broadcasting in early 2006.
Current programming
Proyecto 40's programming under Azteca management currently consists of a mix of programming including newscasts, panel discussions, and general entertainment shows. TV Azteca and Showtime in the United States signed an agreement in September 2008 under which Proyecto 40 began to carry Dexter, Nurse Jackie and other Showtime programs.
