History
The station first went on air with transmitter tests in 2002, but its equipment was seized and the station forced off air. That forced the backers of Desarrollo Comunitario y Cultural Ma Nguhe, A.C. to begin the process of applying for a permit at a time when there were very few permitted community radio stations in Mexico.
On July 29, 2005, Ma Nguhe received the permit for their station, XHDCC-FM; it had to buy a new transmitter to replace the one that was seized, and full programming began August 1, 2006.[3] XHDCC is licensed for operation from 1pm to 10pm each day.
