XEDJ-AM is a radio station, currently off the air, on 1450 AM in Magdalena de Kino, Sonora. It is owned by Jesús Lara Rochín and most recently branded as Radio Clave.
History
Jesús Rochín has been the only owner of XEDJ. He received its concession on January 8, 1947, and came to air two days later. When XEDJ came to air, it broadcast with 250 watts during the day and 100 at night. By the early 1980s, this had increased to its present 500 watts. On two occasions, members of the Rochín Durazo family served as municipal president of Magdalena. Programs and special content over the years included broadcasting the moon landing to Magdalena and baseball coverage from the Liga Norte de Sonora.
Its most famous station employee was one Luis Donaldo Colosio, who worked as a part-time and backup announcer for two years.
In 2004, XEDJ went off the air due to legal problems, though some sources say 2007. The station has not returned since and holds the dubious distinction of being the most dormant Mexican AM radio station, with at least nine years off the air—more than XENET-AM in Mexico City, which has not broadcast since 2008.
