SMRTV also produces two daily editions of "SM Noticias", which are carried on AM, FM, and TV.

While all stations hold authorizations for digital television, none were on the air as of late 2015; several stations reduced power in order to qualify for an extension of one year to build digital facilities. SMRTV digital transmitters use virtual channel 16.
The Huetamo transmitter was authorized in January 2017.
In March 2018, in order to facilitate the repacking of TV services out of the 600 MHz band (channels 38-51), XHPMG (22) and XHMOR (14) were assigned new channels for continued digital operations.
