XHQMGU-TDT, virtual channel 10, is a television station in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. The station is owned by Quiero Media, S.A. de C.V. and known as Quiero TV.

History

Ocho TV began cable telecasts in June 1994 on channel 8 of the Telecable de Zapopan system, which had previously been established by Héctor Vielma Valdivia. The first program was a World Cup show, Conexión Mundialista. The station was renamed Ocho TV in 2004, and it grew to gain coverage on several national cable systems beyond Guadalajara, particularly when Telecable de Zapopan was sold off in 2015.

Quiero Media, S.A. de C.V., won a television station (XHQMGU-TDT) was awarded in the IFT-6 TV station auction of 2017 and began program service on May 2, 2018. It had been testing through most of April. As XEWO-TDT claimed virtual channel 8 first, XHQMGU uses virtual channel 10.

On Friday, November 16, 2018, Ocho TV ceased operations in order to relaunch as Quiero TV with a revamped program lineup on January 3, 2019. During that time, only the station's newscasts were broadcast. The relaunch included an investment in new studio equipment and a deal with Caracol Televisión, Canal RCN and Canal 1 entertainment programming.[2]
