XHAL-TDT (channel 5) is a television station in Acapulco, Mexico, owned and operated by Grupo Televisa. The station carries the Canal 5 network. It was founded by Televisora de Acapulco, S.A., initially relaying XHTV from the capital.

History

Telesistema Mexicano, by means of Televisora de Acapulco, obtained a license for channel 4 in Acapulco on February 15, 1962. On July 2, 1969, both XHAL and XHAP became operational. XHAL started broadcasting in September 1967. It was an affiliate of XHTV in its early years, but by 1981, it had become a relay of XHGC. Both Acapulco stations were relays from Mexico City.
