XHSCO-FM is a radio station in Salina Cruz, Oaxaca. Broadcasting on 96.3 FM, XHSCO-FM is owned by the Instituto Mexicano de la Radio and broadcasts a news and music format under the name "Estéreo Istmo". XHSCO-FM broadcasts in HD. 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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

HD Radio
HD Radio (HDR) is a trademark for an in-band on-channel (IBOC) digital radio broadcast technology. It generally simulcasts an existing analog radio station in digital format with less noise and with additional text information. HD Radio is used primarily by AM and FM radio stations in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with a few implementations outside North America. The term "on channel" is a misnomer because the system actually broadcasts on the ordinarily unused channels adjacent to an existing radio station's allocation. This leaves the original analog signal intact, allowing enabled receivers to switch between digital and analog as required. In most FM implementations, from 96 to 128 kbps of capacity is available. High-fidelity audio requires only 48 kbps so there is ample capacity for additional channels, which HD Radio refers to as "multicasting". HD Radio is licensed so that the simulcast of the main channel is royalty-free. The company makes its money ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Radio Stations Established In 1990
Radio is the technology of signaling and communicating using radio waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves of frequency between 30 hertz (Hz) and 300 gigahertz (GHz). They are generated by an electronic device called a transmitter connected to an antenna which radiates the waves, and received by another antenna connected to a radio receiver. Radio is very widely used in modern technology, in radio communication, radar, radio navigation, remote control, remote sensing, and other applications. In radio communication, used in radio and television broadcasting, cell phones, two-way radios, wireless networking, and satellite communication, among numerous other uses, radio waves are used to carry information across space from a transmitter to a receiver, by modulating the radio signal (impressing an information signal on the radio wave by varying some aspect of the wave) in the transmitter. In radar, used to locate and track objects like aircraft, ships, spacecraft a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
