History

XEUAS-AM came on air for the first time on October 8, 1971, on 1330 kHz. In 1988, the station moved to 1150 kHz and increased its power from 1 kW day to 10 kW.

Sensing the need to move to FM for better sound quality and to be competitive, in 1997, the UAS opened an FM radio station as well, XHUAS-FM 96.1. In 2008, the station upgraded to 60 kW effective radiated power, making it the most powerful FM radio station in Sinaloa.

On December 19, 2017, the Federal Telecommunications Institute cleared a backlog of radio station applications in the Los Mochis area, one of them belonging to the UAS for an FM radio station there, given the callsign XHMSA-FM and the frequency of 102.9 MHz.[4] Construction on the tower began on May 16, 2018, the 145th anniversary of the university's founding,[5] and the station launched October 7, 2018, the 47th anniversary of XEUAS signing on. The Los Mochis station will broadcast with 3,000 watts, though it is capable of 10,000.

gollark: So, squid, *can* you create a 3D-positioned 2D subcanvas or what?
gollark: Just sticking in some "3DCanvas" function to get a usable 2D one working with in-world screenness would be much nicer than manual whatever's.
gollark: We could have a fourth spatial dimension of ridiculousness.
