XEDJ-AM was a radio station broadcasting on 1450 AM in Magdalena de Kino, Sonora. It was owned by Jesús Lara Rochín and last branded as Radio Clave.

History

[edit]

Jesús Rochín was the only owner of XEDJ. He received its concession on January 8, 1947, and the station came to air two days later.[2] When XEDJ came to air, it broadcast with 250 watts during the day and 100 at night.[3] By the early 1980s, this had increased to 500 watts, a power level that remained for the rest of the station's life.[4] On two occasions, members of the Rochín Durazo family served as municipal president of Magdalena.[5] Programs and special content over the years included broadcasting the Moon landing to Magdalena and baseball coverage from the Liga Norte de Sonora.[2]

Its most famous station employee was one Luis Donaldo Colosio, who worked as a part-time and backup announcer for two years.[6][7]

In 2004, XEDJ went off the air due to legal problems,[7] though some sources say 2007.[2] The concession expired on January 8, 2017.
