Canal 5, branded 5*, is the national free-to-air network that TelevisaUnivision aims at children, teenagers and young adults in Mexico. Its schedule leans on cartoons, Japanese anime and imported series and films, mostly from the United States and Japan, alongside home-grown shows such as the drama Cuando Fui Bonita, the romance series Contrato de Corazones and the comedy game show Me Caigo de Risa, where celebrity guests take on improv challenges.
Sport is part of the mix too: the channel carries Liga MX football, including Apertura tournament matches, and NFL games during the American football season. Daytime is built around kids and teens, while evenings bring series and reality shows for a wider audience. Everything is in Spanish, which also makes it a lively way to practise the language.
The station first went on air on 10 May 1952, founded by engineer Guillermo González Camarena; its call sign, XHGC, comes from his initials. Based in Mexico City with nationwide coverage, its long-standing rival is Azteca 7 from TV Azteca. On CXTv you can follow Canal 5 online alongside other Mexican channels.
