Bay City Television
XETV-TV, channel 6, is a television station licensed to Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, whose over-the-air signal also covers the San Diego, California area across the international border in the United States.
XETV is owned by Mexican media company Grupo Televisa, and the station maintains production facilities on both sides of the border: its technical operations and transmitter are based on Mount San Antonio in Tijuana, while its American operations (including studios, newsroom and advertising sales) are located in the Kearny Mesa section of San Diego. The station's San Diego-based English-language programming and sales rights are held by Bay City Television, a California corporation owned by Televisa.
XETV is affiliated with the U.S.-based CW Television Network, broadcasting in English as San Diego 6 on its primary channel (6.1), while its secondary digital subchannel (6.2) airs programming from the Televisa-owned Canal 5 network, Channel 6.1 is seen by cable viewers on the U.S. side of the market, and is also available on DirecTV to serve the few areas of the western United States where the CW network is not available through a local station.

Famous quotes containing the words bay, city and/or television:
“A great work by an Englishman is like a great battle won by England. It is an unfading bay tree.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“Arrive at New Orleans, a city of ships, steamers, flatboats, rafts, mud, fog, filth, stench, and a mixture of races and tongues. Cholera, “some.” [At] Planters’ Hotel. Mem:—Never get caught in a cheap tavern in a strange city.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Television ... helps blur the distinction between framed and unframed reality. Whereas going to the movies necessarily entails leaving one’s ordinary surroundings, soap operas are in fact spatially inseparable from the rest of one’s life. In homes where television is on most of the time, they are also temporally integrated into one’s “real” life and, unlike the experience of going out in the evening to see a show, may not even interrupt its regular flow.”
—Eviatar Zerubavel, U.S. sociologist, educator. The Fine Line: Making Distinctions in Everyday Life, ch. 5, University of Chicago Press (1991)
