The first program was a World Cup show, Conexión Mundialista. The station was renamed Ocho TV in 2004, and it grew to gain coverage on several national cable systems beyond Guadalajara, particularly when Telecable de Zapopan was sold off in 2015.

On November 16, 2018, Ocho TV ceased operations in order to relaunch as Quiero TV with a revamped program lineup on January 3, 2019. During that time, only the station's newscasts were broadcast.
