History
The story of RADIO UNAM 96.1 (CDMX)
Radio UNAM 96.1 FM (XEUN-FM) is a radio station in Mexico City owned by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), a sister station to XEUN-AM 860 and XHUNAM-TDT 20. Its programming consists mostly of music programs, while 860 AM features predominantly speech programs.
The station signed on July 16, 1959, from a transmitter located on the Rectory Tower, broadcasting with 1 kW of power. Its power was increased to 50 kW when it moved to new facilities in 1976.
In 1992, the station moved to a new tower in Ajusco, on land donated to UNAM in 1986 by the government of the Federal District. The move decreased the power to 35 kW, which increased to its current 100 kW with another new transmitter in 1995. Upon the move to Ajusco, the FM station split from its AM simulcast.
On March 25, 2020, as a contingency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Radio UNAM began simulcasting its FM programming on AM until further notice.
