"Radio Stations Operated by Mexican Universities: A Cultural or a Commercial Focus?"

Tomás Saucedo, Radio UAS (Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa)

Radio UAS was founded in 1972 at the Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa, the first of its kind in northwestern Mexico. Since its beginning, it has offered cultural and educative programming to this region. Now Radio UAS, like many other similar radio stations in Mexican universities, compete with commercial stations to increase its audience. Should they keep their initial purpose or should they change?

Tomás Saucedo has been for eight years the director and producer of "En Corto," a radio program in Radio UAS. He studied economics at the UNAM, and has a master degree in economics from Colegio de México and in Business Development from the UAS.
