XHPBUG-FM is a radio station on 89.7 FM in San Andrés Cohamiata, Mezquitic Municipality, Jalisco. The station is to be owned by the Universidad de Guadalajara and operated locally.

History

XHPBUG received its concession on January 12, 2017 and initially planned to come on air in June, though program testing did not begin until January 2018.[2] The station is the first public station in the country to broadcast almost entirely in an indigenous language, in this case Wixárika.[3]

XHPBUG will operate from the local facilities of the UDG Virtual University System, but most of its programming will be presented locally and the university plans for the station to gain a degree of autonomy over time. The new station will also serve as a complement for a planned bachillerato program in the town.[4]
