XHCJU-FM is a combo radio station on 95.9 FM & 590 AM in Jarretaderas, Nayarit, primarily serving Puerto Vallarta, with a grupera format under the Ke Buena name.

History

XHCJU received its concession on April 3, 1995 as XECJU-AM 590, to be located at Cruz de Huanacaxtle, and signing on July 11, 1996. It added an FM signal in 2011. The station's tower is located less than a mile from the Nayarit-Jalisco state line.

XHCJU attempted an unauthorized move to 96.7 MHz, from a transmitter on the Jalisco side of the state line, in 2013. The frequency change, which was conducted because of interference from XHME-FM and XHVAY-FM,^[3] produced interference to air traffic services operating at 119 MHz and prompted federal authorities to open a proceeding that could have revoked the station's concession.^[4]

In 2015, XHCJU ditched its own grupera format in favor of adopting the Ke Buena brand from Televisa Radio. It had previously aired MVS Radio's La Mejor grupera format.^[5]
