Radio stations of University of Costa Rica

[1] This station (the first radio station of the University of Costa Rica) started broadcasting on 29 November 1949, thus shortly after the Costa Rican Civil War of 1948 and the subsequent second republic (See Junta Fundadora de la Segunda República (in Spanish)).

[1] At that time, Carlos Morales was the director of "Radioemisoras UCR" and wanted to receive more student participation on its radio stations.

In its early years, multiple programs made by university students emerged on Radio U.

[1] On 25 August 2015, at 3:30PM (local time (CST)) a group of students and workers of the University of Costa Rica entered the three emission cabins of the three respective stations.

The hi-jackers were unsatisfied due to an agreement between the government and the rectors of Costa Rica's five universities to augment a Special Fund for Higher Education (Spanish: FEES) by 7.38%.
