History
The story of Radio UAS 96.1 Culiacán
Radio UAS is the radio service of the Universidad Autónomaoma de Sinaloa. Listeners in Culiacán can hear it on XEUAS-AM 1150 and XHUAS-FM 96.1, while in Los Mochis it broadcasts on XHMSA-FM 102.9.
XEUAS-AM first signed on October 8, 1971, on 1330 kHz. In 1988, the station moved to 1150 kHz and increased its power from 1 kW day to 10 kW.
Sensing the need to move to FM for better sound quality and competitiveness, in 1997 the UAS opened an FM station as well, XHUAS-FM 96.1. In 2008, the station upgraded to 60 kW effective radiated power, making it the most powerful FM station in Sinaloa.
On December 19, 2017, the Federal Telecommunications Institute cleared a backlog of radio applications in the Los Mochis area, including one from the UAS, which received the callsign XHMSA-FM and the frequency 102.9 MHz. Tower construction began May 16, 2018, the 145th anniversary of the university's founding, and the station launched October 7, 2018, the 47th anniversary of XEUAS signing on. The Los Mochis station will broadcast with 3,000 watts, though it is capable of 10,000.
