UABC Radiois a radio station in the state ofBaja California,with transmitters inEnsenada,MexicaliandTijuana.The station is owned by theAutonomous University of Baja Californiaand broadcasts a cultural radio format.
History[edit]
Radio Universidad was created in 1976 to serve as UABC's radio service. UABC had been producing radio programs since 1964 when it began creatingLa Hora Universitaria Radiofónicabut did not have a station of its own until April 8, 1976. A 250-watt transmitter carried the sounds of Beethoven's 5th Symphony to Mexicali that night. In 1978, the station was properly permitted with a power of 100,000 watts.
On February 23, 1987, Radio Universidad expanded to Ensenada on XHUAC-FM 95.5, and on February 24, 2000, XEUT-AM came to air in Tijuana. On 1630 kHz, XEUT was just the second AM expanded band station authorized in Mexico (behindXEUACH-AM,which launched in 1997).
In 2011, the system was relaunched under its current name and with a new administrative structure.
On October, 2022, UABC Radio ceased broadcast operations on its terrestrial stations, and moved the station's College Radio format (which was branded as "UABC para tus oídos" ) to online only.
