XHTAM is the television call sign for the Televisa television station channel 17 in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. It rebroadcasts programs from the "Canal de las Estrellas" XEW-TV, Mexico City.

The station originally signed on in the mid-1990s as XHFOX, broadcasting programming from the Fox network for Texas' Rio Grande Valley; prior to XHFOX's sign-on, RGV viewers received their Fox programs on cable via the national Foxnet service.

In 2002, XHFOX disaffiliated from Fox and became XHTAM, largely rebroadcasting programming from XEW-TV; Fox programming today can be seen on XHRIO-TV.
