XHPRS - Matamoros Jaramillo

E

e-dawg

Hi,

Can someone tell me where is this town for XHPRS city of license Matamoros Jaramillo. I couldn't find it on google maps or map quest.
 
It's not a town, it's a transmitter site - a hill east of Tijuana and just south of the border, not far from the Otay Mesa crossing.
 
105.7 XHPRS moved to Cerro Bola some years ago (then XHBCE). Same mountain with XHLNC 104.9 and XHATE 95.3, all directional protecting other stations. Also, home to at least one TV station. Google maps has nice photos of tower site from a couple years ago. Some 20 miles south of Tecate.

Has the license change to Tecate from Matamoros Jaramillo or is it still the same?

"City of License" is a very US concept; it has little meaning in places with highly cnetralized governments like Mexico and the rest of the world.
 
I've noticed with some of their legal IDs, they just say XHPRS Baja California. Seems like at one point, they used to say Rosarito, but I might be wrong about that...

Here are two ID's I've noticed.

Since I'm going on my only my third semester of college Spanish, I still MOSTLY listen to English language radio.

X-H-R-M, Baja California, Mexico

X-E-T-R-A, F-M, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.

It seems that XHRM is licensed to the state.

XHPRS might have had Rosarito in their legal IDs because they used to simulcast XEPRS 1090, their sister station, and as with American stations that simulcast, they have to air the call letters of the stations that air the same exact programming on separate stations.
