XEC-AM is a radio station in Tijuana, Baja California, broadcasting on 1310 AM. It carries a Spanish talk format. It is operated by Primer Sistema de Noticias, a company of businessman and former Baja California governor Jaime Bonilla Valdez. It simulcasts the Expresión Ciudadana talk programming of XHBJ-TDT 45.2.

History

XEC's original concession was awarded to Luis E. Enciso in 1934. The Enciso family would own the station for 84 years until its sale in 2018 to Jaime Bonilla's PSN.^[3] The sale allowed Radio Enciso, which was financially strapped at the time, to avoid a strike by unionized employees,^[4] but it led to major programming reshuffles and left several station employees out of work. Unofficial reports placed the station's sale price at about US$2.5 million.^[5]
