XERMX-OC (Radio México Internacional: La voz de México al mundo – "Radio Mexico International: The Voice of Mexico to the World") was a government-run short-wave radio station based in Mexico City.
It began transmissions in 1969, was absorbed into the Mexican Radio Institute (Instituto Mexicano de la Radio, IMER) in 1983, and ceased broadcasting on 1 June 2004.
In a November 2006 interview,[1] IMER director Dolores Beistegui was asked by XERMX was taken off the air:
Radio México Internacional was a short-wave project that operated with six transmitters, of which five were broken. Repairing them would have cost 60 million pesos... we would have needed 60 million pesos to reach who knows who, because no one listens to short wave any more... We cancelled the project and gave the transmitters to Radio UNAM.
