History

Radio TexMex began operations as an Internet radio station in February 2015.[1] The station was designed with a special focus on topics affecting Mexicans who had emigrated to the United States, including making Mexican immigrants aware of legal rights and other resources.

XHPACP was awarded in the IFT-4 radio station auction of 2017 and signed on September 10, 2018, with Álvarez Laso paying 405,000 pesos and committing to equip the station with HD Radio.[2] Building the station involved constructing studios in Acatlán de Osorio, which had no commercial radio stations prior to XHPACP's signing on (another station, XHPAOS-FM 94.5, was also awarded in IFT-4). Former governor Mario Marín Torres was brought onto the project to help identify a transmitter site for the new station, ultimately selecting Cerro Verde in San Jerónimo Xayacatlán.[3] Building a transmitter atop the mountain required delivering equipment to the site by way of ten burros, as no other vehicle could reach the mountaintop.[4][5]

gollark: Didn't you exit the Consortium on there?
gollark: If you transistor goes brrrr, you are doing it wrong.
gollark: My device was not doing audio output on the headphone jack. I had to muck around with ADB (as root because of course) and change some mysterious setting in a config file and it worked.
gollark: Also, I had an unfathomable Android issue and it turned out to actually be quite fathomable, so I'm happy?
gollark: I have no idea, I just saw its existence.
