History

edit

XEGE-AM received its first concession on October 29, 1953. It was owned by Radio Comercial de Baja California, S.A. de C.V., which was owned by Jesús Eguía Molleda, and broadcast as a daytimer on 1150 kHz. By 1969, the call sign had changed to the current XERM-AM to match the sale of Radio Comercial de Baja California to Nicolás Rodríguez Mérida.[3]

In 1999, XERM was sold to Radio Fórmula. Intermittently in the 2010s and 2020s, it has been leased by Primer Sistema de Noticias (PSN) to provide an outlet for its talk programming in Mexicali.
