About FOX 2

June 2, 2008 | News

XHRIO, channel 2, is the local Fox affiliate for the Lower Rio Grande Valley. It is licensed to Matamoros, Mexico, but serves American audiences across the Rio Grande from studios in McAllen, Texas. Known as FOX RIO 2 or FOX XRIO, XHRIO is one of two Fox affiliates that broadcast from Mexico (San Diego / Tijuana’s XETV-TV is the other). It can be seen on Time Warner Cable channel 6 in analog and digital cable channel 870 in high definition], as well as on sister station KNVO’s third digital subchannel. XHRIO is operated by KNVO owner Entravision under a local marketing agreement; Mexican law does not allow foreigners to own any media outlets.

XHRIO carries the full Fox schedule, along with CW programming nightly at 10 p.m., and MTV Tr3s during late night and early morning hours.

On March 12, 2007, XHRIO debuted FOX 2 News at Nine. The 30 minute newscast airs Monday through Friday at 9 p.m. In addition to local/national news, weather and sports, FOX 2 News also includes “Around The World In 80 Seconds”, an 80 second segment dedicated to International news, health news and entertainment news.
