History

"Radio Bemba" took to the air on November 11, 2000, as a non-permitted station on 107.5 MHz, from facilities near the Universidad de Sonora where the station's founders were students. A year later, in 2001, a permit 107.5 FM was awarded to the university. While it was thought that this might help to regularize Radio Bemba's transmissions, the university launched XHUSH-FM, its own station, on the frequency instead. Radio Bemba moved to 103.3 MHz.

In September 2004, the Radio Bemba team began negotiating to obtain a permit for its radio station. On May 31, 2005, Comunicadores del Desierto, A.C., received the permit for XHCD-FM on 95.5 MHz.

The station changed its name to Zoom 95 sometime in the early 2010s.

gollark: The data I have seen does not seem to suggest that's as common as "almost certainly".

gollark: I mean, unless you count the bad economic damage.

gollark: I don't think *that's* accurate.

gollark: <@665664987578236961> Why are you trying to compare flu season deaths to COVID-19 deaths? Are you aware of the idea of "different numbers of people being infected right now" and "exponential growth"?

gollark: Seems reasonable.
