XEQ (Channel 9 analog, Channel 44 digital HDTV) is a Televisa flagship TV station, based in Mexico City. It is branded as ""Galavisión" (which should not be confused with Univision cable TV network of the same name in the United States of America). XEQ is repeated on various television transmitters throughout Mexico, often with local ads inserted.

The Galavisión schedule is mainly filled with telenovelas, a lot of sports, especially football (soccer) and lucha libre (wrestling), along with shows like "Con Todo" and "La Oreja".

On January 3, 2007, Galavisión debuted its first news program, "Las Noticias por Adela". Prior to that date, Galavisión offered no newscasts, as Televisa's news programming could be seen on XEW-TV, as well as its local stations such as XHTV.

On March 18th, 2008 it was announced that an agreement was made between Grupo Televisa and NBC Universal that will see Telemundo programs on XEQ TV as well as its Sky Mexico satellite TV division and its Cablevision cable unit beginning in April, 2008 [http://www.hispanicbusiness.com/news/newsbyid.asp?NS=1&idx=93197&cat1=news] [http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080317/media_nm/telemundo_televisa_dc_1] [http://www.marketingymedios.com/marketingymedios/noticias/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003726624]
