"What DTV operations?" Mexico decided to keep analog TV through 2025.

Mexico is phasing in DTV just as we are - they're just taking a lot longe

to do it. There is already a full slate of DTV stations in Tijuana -
starting with XETV's on channel 23. DTV stations are on the air in
several other border cities (Juarez, for one) and in Monterrey.

If they don't change their rules before then, there will indeed continue
to be analog TV stations in Mexico until 2025 - but by then there will
also be a full complement of digital stations.

Only U.S. border-sharing areas will have DTV, because it's for stations that
have U.S. reception. TWIAR reported about 2 months ago that Mexico actually
passed a referendum NOT to consider a change in non-border-sharing areas
until 2025.
