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

History

Luis Carlos Mendiola Codina received this station's original 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,[2] 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.[3]

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.[4]

In 2017, XHCJU-FM was sold to GlobalMedia of San Luis Potosí.[5] The concession transfer to a GlobalMedia subsidiary, New Digital NX, did not take place for nearly two years after the sale.
