History
The history of the BCS state radio network begins in 1983 with the state government obtaining an authorization for daytime-only XEBCS-AM 1050 (originally to be XEPAZ-AM).
In order to facilitate the expansion of the state network and its move to FM, the BCS state government, through the State Radio and Television Institute, obtained an AM-FM migration authorization for XEBCS, which awarded it XHEBCS-FM 99.9, authorized for 9.92 kW ERP. However, the state government also obtained a series of permits for radio stations on 99.1 MHz in Baja California Sur, including XHBCP-FM 99.1 in La Paz, which is currently an AM-FM combo with XEBCS.
In 2022, the Los Cabos transmitter began airing some separate programming for southern Baja California Sur.[2]
