History[edit]

XEW began reguwar broadcasts at 20:00 CST on September 18, 1930. Broadcasting from a room (water to become a proper studio) at de Owympia Cinema on 16 September Street in Mexico City, it initiawwy had onwy 5 kW of transmitter power, awdough dis was increased to 50 kW by 1934. Wif de instawwation of new transmitters, de power became 250 kW by 1935 and remained dere for more dan 80 years, making XEW-AM de most powerfuw AM radio station in Norf America.

It was de first Mexico City station in Emiwio Azcarraga Vidaurreta's Chain of de Americas, de forerunner to today's Tewevisa whose radio unit stiww owns XEW-AM. XEW-AM originawwy was affiwiated wif de NBC Radio Networks (NBC and Bwue); its future sister stations wouwd take affiwiation wif rivaw networks, XEQ-AM wif CBS and XEX-AM wif Mutuaw. As radio in Mexico evowved wif de country's growf and more radio stations signed on, XEW-AM became fwagship to de country's wargest radio network. Severaw radio and tewevision stations have derived deir caww signs from XEW radio and tewevision, aww of dem affiwiated at one time or anoder wif Tewevisa.[citation needed]

In de United States, de caww wetters for KXEW, a commerciaw AM radio station in Tucson, Arizona, owned by Pan American Radio Corporation, dat went on de air May 10, 1963, were chosen by its president and CEO, J. Carwos McCormick, because of his admiration of Vidaurreta, whom he had met as a teenager during a 1950 visit to Mexico City.[citation needed]

On February 10, 2016, XEW-AM was approved to rewocate its transmitter to a site in Los Reyes Acaqwiwpan, La Paz Municipawity, in de State of Mexico and to reduce power to 100,000 watts.[1]

XEW-FM[edit]

The FM freqwency, 96.9, received its concession on Apriw 28, 1962; it was not waunched untiw de 1970s, and by de end of dat decade, it carried a disco format. By 1981, it had changed to "Rock Stereo". On September 9, 1985, it was renamed "WFM" wif an Engwish rock and pop format, being de direct competition of XHSON-FM (den known as "Rock 101"). Among de DJs dat conformed de station were Awejandro Gonzáwez Iñárritu, Marda Debaywe and Charo Fernández.

After 14 years, in 1999, de station changed its name and format to "W Radicaw", directed by de former head of "Rock 101", Luis Gerardo Sawas, airing ewectronic music and eurodance. By 2001, it returned to its former WFM format wif de swogan "Frecuencia Adictiva", but in wate 2002, after de association of Tewevisa Radio and PRISA, it was decided to simuwcast de same programming on AM and FM, and dus XEW-FM became a news and tawk outwet.
