History edit
Radio TexMex began operations as an Internet radio station in February 2015.[2] The station was designed with a special focus on topics affecting Mexicans who had emigrated to the United States, including making Mexican immigrants aware of legal rights and other resources.
XHPACP was awarded in the IFT-4 radio station auction of 2017 and signed on September 10, 2018, with Álvarez Laso paying 405,000 pesos and committing to equip the station with HD Radio.[3] Building the station involved constructing studios in Acatlán de Osorio, which had no commercial radio stations prior to XHPACP's signing on (another station, XHPAOS-FM 94.5, was also awarded in IFT-4). Former governor Mario Marín Torres was brought onto the project to help identify a transmitter site for the new station, ultimately selecting Cerro Verde in San Jerónimo Xayacatlán.[4] Building a transmitter atop the mountain required delivering equipment to the site by way of ten burros, as no other vehicle could reach the mountaintop.[5][6]
