UADY owns three radio stations, each broadcasting the same programming: XERUY-AM 1120 and XHRUY-FM 103.9 in Mérida, and XHMIN-FM 94.5 in Tizimín.

History

The UADY's first radio station began transmissions on April 6, 1966, on 1400 kHz. The station was founded by Hernán Ramírez Coello, and the transmitter was built in Mérida by engineer Eduardo Maldonado.

In the 1970s, new university administration began to upgrade Radio Universidad considerably. The studios were renovated, professional audio equipment added, and a new, 1 kW transmitter donated by the president of Mexico. The station also eventually moved to its current 1120 kHz frequency. The 1980s saw further growth in the station's programming, broadcasting 10 hours a day, and in April 1998, the university received a permit for XHRUY-FM.

The permit for XHMIN in Tizimín was added in the 2000s; at the same time, the university also received a permit for a station to be located in Motul that was never built.

gollark: No idea. `ip r list ff02::aeae` doesn't say anything at all about it, but that is also the case for some *working* addresses on the LAN.
gollark: * in one of them
gollark: I'm trying to send packets to `ff02::aeae` port 44718, which is *meant* to be one of the multicast IP ranges for service discovery and stuff.
gollark: It's a multicast thing, it *should*, if I understood the specs right, just go to everything on the same LAN.
gollark: Well, I have no idea *what's* going on with this.
