History

[edit]

CBC, began in 1936 with the establishment of radio station XEBG-AM in Tijuana, followed in 1950 by XEDX-AM in Ensenada, XEMBC-AM in Mexicali in 1964, and XEWV-FM in 1974.

In 1990, CBC established its first television station, XHBJ-TV channel 45 in the city of Tijuana.

In 1994, XHMORE-FM began broadcasting; the station currently carries a Rock en Español format as "More FM 98.9", since September 2010. The More FM branding and format would later be carried over to XEWV-FM Mexicali on September 9, 2011.

Also part of the CBC family is XESPN-AM; formerly an affiliate of ESPN Radio, the station changed to a news/talk format as "Noticias 800" on November 1, 2010.

On January 24, 2011, CBC converted "CBC Radio" stations XEBG-AM, XEMBC-AM and Ensenada station XEDX-AM to a new news/talk format, under the "Cadena" branding. XESPN was later also rebranded as Cadena 800 AM.

In November 2019, XHBJ ceased to be a Televisa broadcaster and was renamed ¨45 TV Tijuana¨ with programming from Multimedios TV, XHILA-TDT Mexicali and news cuts from the ¨Cadena¨ news department. And a show from its sister station MORE FM 98/9.

In January 2020 XEWV-FM changed its format, from MORE FM to Suena FM with pop music in Spanish.

On May 22, 2022 Tijuana XESPN-AM 800 kHz XEBG-AM 1550 kHz XHMORE-FM 98.9 MHz & Mexicali XEMBC-AM 1190 kHz went off the air and its programming is online-only.[1]
