History
Meanwhile, in Monterrey, XEX-AM on 1310 kHz started up in 1934; in 1937, Jesús Dionisio González (El Heraldo del Comercio, S.A.) bought the station from Don Federico Zertuche. The first transmission over XEX was a baseball game from Mexico City. In the early 1950s, the government requested the XEX callsign to build a national network, and in turn the station received the new callsign XEAW; at the same time, the station moved to 1280 kHz. In 1968, the Estrellas de Oro group expanded to a television station, XHAW-TV channel 12.
