The first university television station in the state of Durango, XHUNES-TDT programming covers natural and social sciences as well as investigative journalism, serving as a laboratory for graduate and undergraduate students of the School of Communication Sciences in degree programs such as marketing, journalism, public relations & corporate image, and graphic design.

The station signed on in analog and converted to digital on physical channel 16, effective December 22, 2015. As a result of the expiration of the permit without renewal, the UNES received a second concession for XHPBDG-TDT on VHF channel 11, which became the new XHUNES-TDT in 2022.
