In 1963 and 1964, the losses for Televisión Tapatía widened, and TT ultimately signed a contract under which Telesistema Mexicano would provide sales services and videotape equipment to XEHL. The move was crucial to channel 6's survival; its profits jumped 73.7 percent for 1965.

Telesistema Mexicano quite clearly had the lead. It collaborated with the government on the development of a national microwave system, which proved key to the development of television in provincial Mexico. TSM brought its viewers the launch of

In 1997, XEDK moved from channel 6 to 5, in order to avoid increasing interference from FM radio stations. It also became a repeater of most of XHTV's programming, with local news known as "Antena Cinco". In April 2001, XEDK became a full-time repeater of channel 9 in Mexico City, today known as

channel 4, in 1961. When TSM's duopoly took full force, it realigned its channels 2 and 4 so that the new channel 4 would run all of the Mexico City programs and channel 2 would remain local (this was later reversed). Much of XEHL's programming, in contrast, consisted of live studio shows.

October 23, 1980, channel 6 took a new call sign: XEDK-TV.

The history of XEDK-TV begins with the sign-on of XEHL-TV channel 6, which came to air on
