History

[edit]

Radio Uekakua's history predates by years its legalization. The station had first applied for a permit in 2002 and in 2009 had still yet to receive a reply; the station was raided and forced off the air for lacking a permit in 2009;[2] the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation claimed it had "lost" the application.[3] The Federal Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law of 2014 created new indigenous and community station classes. The indigenous community at Ocumicho filed for a station once more on August 14, 2015, and the Federal Telecommunications Institute approved the concession award on January 25, 2017.[4] In comparison with its 5-watt output as a pirate,[2] XHOCU-FM is authorized for 391 watts,[1] covering almost 42,000 people.[5]
