History

In the early 1980s, PEMEX began exploring the idea of constructing a radio station in the Istmo region, home to many oil facilities, in order to connect the region and the petroleum industry. In 1982, the frequency of 96.3 MHz was assigned, and XHGAS-FM came to air on December 7, 1985 from a transmitter facility located atop a hill within the oil company's facilities. PEMEX programmed 96.3 FM with music for 10 hours a day, but it could not keep the station on air. Longer and longer periods of time off air endangered the station's permit, and in 1987, the Instituto Mexicano de la Radio began operating XHGAS-FM on PEMEX's behalf. IMER changed the station's format to one of news and information, for a region relatively isolated from political and economic centers. In 1989, IMER changed the station's callsign to the current XHSCO-FM and introduced its current branding and format.[3]

gollark: It's not like they'd notice.
gollark: I really should have had my submission secretly open a reverse shell thing over SPUDNET (and alert me when doing so) so that I could try and exploit the sandbox system in the few minutes before ubq gets bored and kills it.
gollark: Well, we didn't have computers until 1950ish, and we didn't have portable computers good enough to run reasonable note things until 1990ish.
gollark: However, this is !!PHYSICAL!! and !!EXISTS!! thus bad.
