 The goal of becoming "The Third Network" finally materialized for Grupo Imagen, thanks to the 2013 Federal Telecommunications Act that ordered the creation of two nationwide over-the-air digital networks.On March 11, 2015, Grupo Imagen was granted the operation of one of the networks that would carry the CadenaTres signal nationwide over-the-air.However, in a sudden and unexpected decision, Grupo Imagen shut down CadenaTres on October 26, 2015 and replaced its feed in its flagship channel (XHTRES Channel 28) with the Excélsior TV news network.
