History

The first UAD radio station was XHUAD-FM 94.1 Durango, which was permitted on December 10, 1999. In 2004, the UAD applied for additional stations at Mazatlán and Zacatecas; in 2009 for Gómez Palacio, Los Mochis and Culiacán; and 2011 for Zacatecas. In September 2011, Cofetel approved the first expansion of the Lobos FM network by approving the permit applications in Gómez Palacio and Mazatlán, with XHLUAD-FM 88.7 and XHTLAN-FM 106.7 signing on in 2012. On December 19, 2017, the IFT resolved all remaining permit applications in Hermosillo, Los Mochis and Zacatecas, resulting in the university receiving concessions for XHHMO-FM 103.5, XHHIS-FM 97.3 and XHZTZ-FM 95.5. In Zacatecas, XHZTZ's award marked the state's first university radio station.[1] The Culiacán application was greenlit on January 31, 2018, for XHCUAD-FM 93.7.

The UAD also owns and operates television station XHUAD-TDT channel 4 in Durango.
