XEW-TV is one of Televisa's oldest stations, founded in 1951 as part of Telesistema Mexicano. It is the second TV station in Mexico. Among the programs featured on El Canal de las Estrellas are "En Familia Con Chabelo" ("In Family with Chabelo"), "Hoy" (Today), "Al Sabor del Chef" (Chef's Flavor), "Tercer Grado" (Third Degree, a TV show based on politics), and CV Directo (CV Direct). They also air the Mexican version of a cross between USA's People's Choice Awards, the Emmy Awards called "Premios TV y Novelas", sponsored by the Televisa-owned magazine of the same name. This HD channel is criticized for its practice of airing a significant amount of 4:3 standard definition content stretched to 16:9 high definition that some TV viewers have nicknamed Stretch-o-Vision. |
