XHGC-TV (channel 5 analog, channel 50 digital), commonly known as Canal 5, is a station owned by Televisa, originating in Mexico City, with affiliates and repeaters throughout Mexico.

The third of Televisa's TV stations, its nighttime programming generally features action and drama programs.

History

XHGC signed on May 10, 1952, broadcasting a Mother's Day event organized by the Excélsior newspaper; regular programming began August 18, 1952.

The station was established by Guillermo González Camarena, a Mexican engineer who was the inventor of modern color television; the station's calls reflect his surnames. González Camarena was director and general manager of XHGC until his death in 1965.

In 1962, XHGC became the first station in Mexico to broadcast in color; its first color program was Paraíso infantil (Children's Paradise). Mexico was also likely the third country in North America and the fourth in the world, behind the United States, Cuba and Japan, to introduce color television.

During its early years, XHGC also brought educational television to Mexican viewers, with Telesecundaria, a pioneering educational program in Mexico.

Programming on XHGC also included children's programs, international series and movies, and sport events ranging from Olympics, World Cups, international football soccer matches and matches of the Mexican Football Soccer League; it still broadcasts them today.
