XEW-TV Mexico

[remlap]

Anyone got more info on this version I have XEW-TV on right now.

Seems to follow the British and Indian version of having people who will be playing have boxes not models.

Cheers.

Which eventually did confirm that Televisa is carrying the show--XEW is better known as "Canal de las Estrellas" ("Channel of the Stars"), a slogan used by the U.S. Galavision channel for a while before Televisa had to sell its interest in parent company Univision.

"100 Mexicanos Dijeron" and the Mexican version of "TPIR" both originated on Televisa, which is still the dominant network(s) in Mexico, although they haven't enjoyed the monopoly they used to have for many years now.

I knew all this

I do check up on what feeds / channels I pick up on my dish from around the world, hence how I knew what the call signs were

As an aside, the daytime version of VonV captured the same weekday time slot as "Atinale al Precio" and the recently-cancelled "100 Mexicanos Dijeron" on Canal de las Estrellas.

Of course, the Saturday night version of VonV overlaps with a portion of the Mexican version of "The Weakest Link" on another network, which I can't remember right now.

.....and how do you get XEW-TV? I've been wondering in vain how to see some Vas O No Vas. I've been Jones'ing for the Saturday night version ever since I first saw the show two years ago, and even moreso after I came back from this last trip. ;-D

I love how with each iteration of this show, the host looks more and more like they were plucked wholesale off of the set of a Harry Potter movie.

Thanks for all this information.

I get it on a satellite mulitscreen thing thats not the best but still Im the other side of the Atlantic to even view XEW-TV is great.

Its on a satellite thats rarely used other than feeds for Mexican networks to be recieved in Europe and WWE to fed into Europe.

Still they left this on

And I love the fact that Fremantle's Mexican operation produces this version.  The game show world seems so insular sometimes.

And from all indications, this show is not on Azteca America (neither is any other game show, from all indications, although they have the Mexican version of the "Star Academy" talent-show-meets-"Big Brother" format that I just saw that NBC is picking up here--and yes, I know it's not a game show).

It is not and has never been, sadly.
Mexico's El Rival Más Débil has also been cancelled, which is another pity because it came to be one of the best versions.
