XEWR-AM (1110 kHz) is a non-commercial daytimer radio station in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. It is known as Cristo Rey (Christ the King) with a Catholic radio format programmed by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ciudad Juárez. Because AM 1110 is a clear channel frequency, XEWR signs off the air at night, when radio waves travel farther.

History

XEWR received its first concession on May 21, 1959. It was the founding station of what is today known as MegaRadio.http://megaradio.mx/#seccionestaciones Mega Radio Stations The concessionaire has remained the same throughout XEWR's history.
