History
XEWR received its first concession on May 21, 1959. It was the founding station of what is today known as MegaRadio.[2] The concessionaire has remained the same throughout XEWR's history.
In January 2008, XEWR flipped to its current Catholic religious format. It had previously been an English-language oldies station, Classic 1110.[3]
gollark: Still don't know how that actually works though.
gollark: Well, that seems overly centralized.
gollark: I don't think that's relevant. AES requires both ends to have the same key, so I don't see how that works.
gollark: Um.
gollark: Er, AES isn't asymmetric, do you mean RSA or something?
