History
XECUA-AM 1410 came to air on May 13, 1993. It was the successor to XECUC-AM 840 "Radio Casa de la Cultura", a state-run radio station dating to 1981 whose failing equipment and economic problems caused then-governor Jorge Salomón Azar to declare that it "was not meeting the objective for which it had been created".[3] The university had long sought to operate a cultural radio station. In 2000, power was upgraded from 500 to 1,000 watts.[4] During Hurricane Isidore in 2002, XECUA was the only station to remain on the air; after the disaster, Radio Universidad expanded its facilities in order to be able to sustain service during disasters.
The university radio station migrated to FM in 2012 as XHCUA-FM 90.9, though the permit for the AM station is separate and remains valid.
