History

Jesús Rochín was the only owner of XEDJ. He received its concession on January 8, 1947, and the station came to air two days later.[2] When XEDJ came to air, it broadcast with 250 watts during the day and 100 at night.[3] By the early 1980s, this had increased to 500 watts, a power level that remained for the rest of the station's life.[4] On two occasions, members of the Rochín Durazo family served as municipal president of Magdalena.[5] Programs and special content over the years included broadcasting the moon landing to Magdalena and baseball coverage from the Liga Norte de Sonora.[2]

Its most famous station employee was one Luis Donaldo Colosio, who worked as a part-time and backup announcer for two years.[6][7]

In 2004, XEDJ went off the air due to legal problems,[7] though some sources say 2007.[2] The concession expired on January 8, 2017.

gollark: I would probably try and implement more personalised curricula using computers, which our education system mostly ignores, instead of just shoving people in classes with others who like different things and may learn some things at different rates.
gollark: You didn't ask me but I have strong opinions on this anyway.
gollark: Maybe you're just a RTL8188EUS.
gollark: Like I'm going to *sleep* now.
