History

Zaachila Radio has its roots in the 2006 Oaxaca protests, as one of eight pirate radio stations that began to operate around that time. It was supported by Section 22 of the SNTE teachers' union[2] and originally operated on 94.1 MHz.

On February 19, 2010, Zaachila Radio received a formal permit, this time on 96.3 with the callsign XHZAA-FM. It was among a wave of six community radio stations awarded permits by Cofetel.
