XEB radio celebrates 103 years of broadcasting in Mexico

The Mexican radio station XEB, known as ‘La B Grande de México’, celebrated its 103rd anniversary with a special concert at the Teatro de la Ciudad Esperanza Iris. The event featured musical performances ranging from boleros to rock, including acts such as Los Locos del Ritmo, Eric Ventura, Trío Los Pretendientes, and Los Rebeldes del Rock.

As the country’s first commercial broadcaster, XEB has played a significant role in preserving Mexican musical identity. The station has hosted legendary artists such as Pedro Infante, Agustín Lara, José José, and Armando Manzanero. Since 1983, it has been part of the Instituto Mexicano de la Radio (IMER), broadcasting 24 hours a day on the 1220 AM frequency and through digital platforms.

Beyond entertainment, the station serves as a repository for musical research and cultural heritage, helping to transmit musical traditions across generations.
