Radio Fórmula (XERFR 970-AM)

The origins of the news radio station Radio Fórmula XERFR 970 AM are traced back in the 1930s although it officially emerged somewhere at the end of the 1960s when it was established as Radio Distrito Federal, a music radio station which contributed in the introduction of rock music in Mexico. In the 1980s the music was replaced with mainly news programme. The transformation continued in the middle of the 1990s with the creation of RadioFórmula Estados - three networks with national coverage with nowadays more than hundred radio stations (some of them in the United States).
