It broadcasts on 89.5 MHz from studios on the UAQ campus and was simulcast on AM station XEUAQ-AM 580 until 2015.

Cultural programming increased its prevalence in the 1980s, with international programs being bought from such countries as Israel, Germany and the United States; at the same time, more university students and faculty became involved in the station's operations.

The mid-1980s saw the first expansion of the XHUAQ facilities, followed by the 1987 launch of the AM station, which operated with 250 watts of power.

In 2001, Luis Alberto Fernández García brought the station into 24-hour operation and briefly separated the programming on AM and FM.
