XEW-TV (Channel 2 analog and
Channel 48 digital HDTV) is a television station in Mexico
.
XEW-TV is one of the cornerstone stations of
Televisa, with affiliate stations all over Mexico.
It is also
transmitted throughout Central and South America on satellite, as
well as in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand
; many of the programs of El Canal de las
Estrellas are seen in the United States
on Univision, Telefutura, and Galavisión.
XEW-TV is one of Televisa's oldest stations, founded in 1951 as
part of
Telesistema
Mexicano.

Chabelo ("In Family with Chabelo"),
Hoy (Today),
Al Sabor del Chef (Chef's
