XEDKR-AM (700 AM, "Radio Red") is a Spanish-language radio station in Guadalajara. It relays programming from XERED-AM 1110 in Mexico City. 700 kHz is a United States clear-channel frequency.
History
The first concession for 700 AM in Zapopan was awarded on October 17, 1953, for XEAR-AM and awarded to J. de Jesús Franco Gómez.[2] By the 1960s, the station was transferred to Asociación Radiofónica, S.A., and sometime between 1969 and 1974, the callsign was changed to the present XEDKR-AM as a result of its acquisition by Radio Grupo DK (the Guadalajara arm of Radio Programas de México). It was known as Radio Ambiente in the early 1970s and by the late 1980s had become a direct repeater of Radio Red. It was transferred in 1991 to XEDKR-AM, S.A. de C.V., and sold along with the rest of RPM to Grupo Radio Centro in 1994 and 1995.
