XHUAS-FM/XEUAS-AM is an AM/FM combo Mexican college radio station owned by the Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa in Culiacán. The station broadcasts on 1150 kHz and 96.1 MHz and is known as Radio UAS.

History

XEUAS-AM came on air for the first time on October 8, 1971, on 1330 kHz. In 1988, the station moved to 1150 kHz and increased its power from 1 kW day to 10 kW.

Sensing the need to move to FM for better sound quality and to be competitive, in 1997, the UAS opened an FM radio station as well, XHUAS-FM 96.1. In 2008, the station upgraded to 60 kW effective radiated power, making it the most powerful FM radio station in Sinaloa.
