XEWR-AM (1110 kHz) is a non-commercial daytimer radio station in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. It is known as Cristo Rey (Christ the King) with a Catholic radio format programmed by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ciudad Juárez. Because AM 1110 is a clear channel frequency, XEWR signs off the air at night, when radio waves travel farther.
History
[edit]XEWR received its first concession on May 21, 1959. It was the founding station of what is today known as MegaRadio.[2] The concessionaire has remained the same throughout XEWR's history.
In January 2008, XEWR flipped to its current Catholic religious format. It had previously been an English-language oldies station, Classic 1110.[3]
