XEMO-AM (860 AM, La Poderosa 860 AM), is a Spanish-language radio station that is based in Tijuana, but the signal can be heard as far away as Los Angeles. The station plays tropical music and is the only Spanish language AM station in San Diego that broadcasts music that reaches a far distance. XEMO is operated by San Diego based Uniradio, Inc., with the concession and transmitter owned by a Mexican company. Uniradio also owns several Spanish language radio stations that serve the San Diego-Tijuana radio market. XEMO was also the Spanish flagship radio station of the San Diego Padres until 2015, when these broadcasts moved to XEXX-AM.

History

XEMO received its first concession on January 2, 1934. It was owned by Fernando Federico Ferreira. In 1960, the station was knocked off the air by a fire, started when a transmitter short circuited and ignited a rug, that caused $50,000 in damage. [2]

After Ferreira's 1964 death, [3] Gustavo Faist Fernández became the new concessionaire. In turn, Faist transferred the station to Gustavo E. Astiazarán Rosas in 1969. In 1973, the concession was placed under its current concessionaire.
