History

The station received its permit in 2000, though its roots dated to a temporary radio station on 100.1 that operated for 18 months from August 22, 1995, to 1997. It was well-received, and an application was made for a fully permitted radio station.

On May 22, 2019, the Federal Telecommunications Institute voted to deny a renewal application for XHFCT-FM, as well as the associated transition of its permit to a social community concession. In processing XHFCT's renewal, it found that the noncommercial station had sold advertising time in violation of its permit.[2]

gollark: I have not actually read any of it. I just said it seemed interesting as an idea.
gollark: There's this interesting book (http://radicalmarkets.com/) - I haven't read it, but I have heard lots about it - apparently it has policy proposals for reworking markets to do some stuff more effectively, which is what I'm interested in.
gollark: Perhaps you could solve all those issues, but I think it would be much harder than solving the ones we have *now*.
gollark: I mean, some of the issues I have would be gone without market systems, yes, but you would then introduce new much bigger ones.
gollark: No, I like that one.
