History

XEE is the oldest radio station in Durango. It received its concession on November 24, 1933, but did not come to air until June 27, 1934.[4] XEE broadcast from the residence of its first owner, Alejandro O. Stevenson, with 50 watts on 1010 kHz. The station's opening featured Lázaro Cárdenas, then running for president, as well as Governor Carlos Real and the local military commander, Anacleto López. By the 1940s, XEE had expanded its programming and was operating on a new frequency, 1280; in 1943, Stevenson had transferred the station to José G. Valenzuela. In 1961, Alicia Stevenson Torrijos bought XEE, moving it to 590 and increasing its daytime power to 1,000 watts.

In 1993, XEE was sold to Radio XEE, S.A. de C.V., which in 1994 converted the station into a combo by receiving authorization to build XHE-FM 105.3. Radio Fórmula acquired XEE-XHE in 2000.

gollark: I wonder how hard/expensive it'd be to run your own channel on the satellite system if there are THAT many.
gollark: We have exciting TV like "BBC Parliament".
gollark: Analog TV got shut down here ages ago.
gollark: So I guess if you consider license costs our terrestrial TV is *not* free and costs a bit more than Netflix and stuff. Oops.
gollark: - it funds the BBC, but you have to pay it if you watch *any* live TV, or watch BBC content online- it's per property, not per person, so if you have a license, and go somewhere without a license, and watch TV on some of your stuff, you are breaking the law (unless your thing is running entirely on battery power and not mains-connected?)- it costs about twice as much as online subscription service things- there are still black and white licenses which cost a third of the priceBut the enforcement of it is even weirder than that:- there are "TV detector vans". The BBC refuses to explain how they actually work in much detail. With modern TVs I don't think this is actually possible, and they probably can't detect iPlayer use, unless you're stupid enough to sign up with your postcode (they started requiring accounts some years ago).- enforcement is apparently done by some organization with almost no actual legal power (they can visit you and complain, but not *do* anything without a search warrant, which is hard to get)- so they make up for it by sending threatening and misleading letters to try and get people to pay money
