XEX-AM (730 AM) is a radio station based in Mexico City, Mexico. It carries a sports radio format known as W Deportes.
History
XEX-AM came to air in 1947 as a 500 kW national radio station. The Mexican government built XEX with the transmitter equipment of the former XERA at Villa Acuña, Coahuila, whose 500 kW transmitter was seized, dismantled and shipped to Mexico City, and obtained the callsign from a Monterrey station, which was reassigned the XEAW-AM calls.
During the 1940s, XEX was affiliated with the Mutual Radio Network as its Latin American flagship. In 1951, it was sold to Rómulo O'Farrill after four years of losses.[3] Its sister stations were also flagship stations of Latin American networks of competing radio networks, XEW-AM with NBC and XEQ-AM with CBS. XEX was also affiliated with ABC. All three have been owned by Televisa Radio for decades.
After airing a multitude of formats throughout its existence, in 2003 it became a sports radio outlet. The sports format it inherited started in 1999 as "Super Deportiva" on 1180 AM; later, it moved to 830 AM ("Estadio 830") and 590 AM ("Estadio 590"). In 2003, the format settled at XEX and was known as Estadio W until 2012 when it adopted the branding TDW, in reference to Televisa's sports cable channel TDN. The station moved its transmitter in 2016 to a new site in Los Reyes Acaquilpan, La Paz Municipality, State of Mexico. The sports format continued through January 5, 2017, when TDW Radio bid farewell to its listeners.[4] The station was relaunched the following Monday as W Deportes.
