**XHUAM-FM**, known as **UAM Radio**, is the radio station of the [Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana](/source/Universidad_Aut%C3%B3noma_Metropolitana), established in 2011 and currently broadcasts from a UAM building in Avenida Constituyentes.

## History

### Single-frequency network

UAM Radio originally broadcast on [94.1 FM](/source/94.1_FM) from five 20-watt transmitters at various UAM facilities, each of which is located at a different UAM facility in [Mexico City](/source/Mexico_City):

- **XHUAMR-FM** at the General Rectory, which houses the studio facilities

- **XHUAMA-FM** at the [Unidad Azcapotzalco](/source/UAM_Azcapotzalco)

- **XHUAMC-FM** at the [Unidad Cuajimalpa](/source/UAM_Cuajimalpa)

- **XHUAMI-FM** at the [Unidad Iztapalapa](/source/UAM_Iztapalapa)

- **XHUAMX-FM** at the [Unidad Xochimilco](/source/UAM_Xochimilco)

The XHUAMR-FM transmitter

It is estimated that the transmitter network covered 70% of Mexico City.[2]

The permits for these stations were awarded by [Cofetel](/source/Federal_Commission_of_Telecommunications_(Mexico)) on January 27, 2010. The network signed on March 11, 2011, bringing the 94.1 FM frequency back to use in Mexico City for the first time since the closure of [XHFM-FM](/source/XEJP-FM) in 1957.

### Conversion to a single transmitter

In July 2017, the [Federal Telecommunications Institute](/source/Federal_Telecommunications_Institute) authorized UAM Radio to begin using one transmitter, from the Cuajimalpa site, using the callsign **XHUAM-FM** and with a power increase to 3,000 watts, expanding reception to eastern portions of the [State of Mexico](/source/State_of_Mexico). The university sought the change because its single-frequency network was "not sufficient to provide an efficient FM radio service to Mexico City".[3]

Testing began for the higher-power transmissions from Cuajimalpa in March 2018.

## Format

The format is largely cultural in nature. Some programs utilize UAM resources and are produced by departments at the various UAM units.
