XECL-AM is a radio station in Mexicali, Baja California, broadcasting on 990 kHz.
History
XECL is among Mexicali's oldest radio stations. Alfonso A. Lacarra received its concession on January 19, 1938, broadcasting with 5,000 watts of power from facilities at the intersection of Avenida Zaragoza and Calle F.
By the 1960s, Lacarra had died, leaving the station in the hands of his estate until 1996 when control passed to Silvia Lacarra Hinojosa. In 1998, Radiorama took over the concession under the subsidiary XECL-AM, S.A. It also reduced its power; now XECL broadcasts with more power at night than in the daytime.
