Aircheck: XEX ('La X') 730 kHz Mexico City 1981

S

spiritof67

Here is another aircheck I made from XEX 'La X' (730 kHz) Mexico City. I do not know the specific date of this recording, but I know it was from 1981 based on how I categorized cassettes at the time. From my limited understanding of Spanish, this sounds like some kind of romantic music and conversation show. It may have been a paid block of time. I heard an ad/promo for the Dallas Cowboys and (what sounds like) an ad for a getaway to Acapulco. Any narrowing down of the date for this would be helpful, and I hope you enjoy the aircheck.


The files (30 minutes each) are 192/44.1 and can be found at these links:

Giving it a listen...

-Ads for vacation packages to Acapulco
-"Noche de Poesía"
-Ads for TV y Novelas (a TV Guide-type publication)
-Rancho Girasol, a ranch in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato (another vacation thing, still around?)
-"Relive the greatest musical moments from the Festival '81" - a record ad. Look at the link as this is probably going to help you date this. The festival was an Ibero-American version of Eurovision and ran from the 70s until 2000 (there was no 1999 edition).
-Ad for sports supplement in Novedades with NFL scores and stories. This is where the Cowboys mention is — they had a color spread on the Cowboys cheerleaders!
-"Historia del Hombre", a graphic novel of history, promoting its first chapter on India

There are also various PSAs - vaccination, Profeco...

Could this be early '82? At the very least, the tail end of 1981. It was a Thursday, it should be noted.
