Telemax is a Mexican Broadcast Television network based in Hermosillo, Sonora . Its flagship station is '''XEWH-TV''' channel 6 in Hermosillo, and is available nationally through satellite and cable coverage. It is also available through a network of over-the-air repeaters, which extend its flagship station's coverage throughout Sonora . Telemax is owned by the State of Sonora and its stated mission is "to promote Sonoran culture and values, the works and programs of the government, and timely and truthful broadcast of information to various social segments of the population."1 (translated into English) HISTORY XEWH history The history of Television Station XEWH precedes that of Telemax by over 30 years. Founded November 27 1957 by the Azcarraga family, XEWH went on the air May 30 1959 as part of Telesistema Mexicano , hence the callsign XEWH, from "XEW", the Telesistema Mexicano flagship station in Mexico City , and "H", for Hermosillo. As typical of Telesistema Mexicano stations, XEWH operated independently, but that changed in 1969. The station became "una retransmisora de programas enlatados", or, a retransmitter of canned programs, likely from XEW-TV , and remained so until 1978. In 1984, the Azcarraga family sold the station to the Sonoran government. State government decree 369 on August 22 1985 established XEWH as the official voice of the Sonoran government. Also in 1985, the government began building a network of low-power television stations throughout Sonora to rebroadcast XEWH. Telemax history The year 1990 saw the launch of Telemax, a new identity for the state-run television station.
