History
editWhile the concession for XEJP was awarded in 1936 for a station on 1130 kHz, owned by Salvador Monterrubio R., it began broadcasts on September 15, 1955. In 1964, it took on what would be its longest-running format, Radio Variedades with a wide-ranging catalog of music in Spanish.
In 1997, Radio Variedades and the XEJP callsign moved to 1320, and in return 1150 became news-formatted "Formato 21" XECMQ-AM. In October 2001, 1150 and 790 swapped formats. "Formato 21" went to 790, while 1150 adopted the Spanish oldies format "El Fonógrafo" which had aired on 790 since its 1990 launch. The XEJP calls were reclaimed in 2004 after, in the Infored/Radio Centro split, 1320 became XENET.
In 2017, citing "changes in AM transmission infrastructure", Grupo Radio Centro reorganized all of its AM radio stations, shutting down several and consolidating their programs. El Fonógrafo moved to XEN-AM 690, sharing its musical format with programs from talk station XEQR-AM 1030.[2] XEJP then went silent.
In January 2019, the IFT approved GRC diplexing XEJP with XEN at its San Miguel Teotongo transmitter site and reducing daytime power from 50,000 to 20,000 watts.[3] XEJP began testing from the new site on August 6, 2019 and resumed regular programming as an Acustik Radio station on September 2, 2019. That same day, Acustik began programming two other former Radio Centro AM stations, XEUNO-AM in Guadalajara and XEMN-AM (later changed to XEFB-AM) in Monterrey. The three stations were outright sold to Acustik shortly after.
