Coahuila Radio is the state radio network of the Mexican state of Coahuila, broadcasting on 16 transmitters in the state.[1] Radio Coahuila's studios are located in the capital city of Saltillo, in a state office building on Periférico Luis Echeverría, alongside the Saltillo transmitter.

History

[edit]

The state received the permits for the 16 stations on November 29, 2000. XHSOC in Saltillo began transmitting on March 26, 2001; the signal is fed to the other transmitters by satellite. The network has gone through several different names; at one point, it was known as Radio Gente.

The state network was constituted as a separate government agency on February 28, 2014. On March 8, 2019, by decree, the name of the agency was changed from Radio Coahuila to Coahuila Radio y Televisión in anticipation of the construction and launch of XHPBSA-TDT 17 in Saltillo.[2]

Transmitters

[edit]

16 transmitters provide Coahuila Radio service to the state's populated areas. Most of the network's transmitters are located at state-run technical and secondary schools, with the notable exceptions of Parras de la Fuente, Saltillo and Torreón.
