Mexico. In Mexico there is a space dedicated to remembering both the history and the present of radio. It is the Radio Museum, a space inaugurated in October 2018.
Those in charge of its creation were the representatives of the Metro Collective Transportation System (STC) and the then existing Radio Association of the Valley of Mexico (ARVM). It is located in the "Parque de los Venados" metro station, on line 12, better known as the Gold Line.
Since May 18, 2023, the National Chamber of the Radio and Television Industry (CIRT) has been responsible for the coordination of the Radio Museum.
The Museum is made up of two pavilions that mainly offer:
• Relevant data about the radio.
• Recordings of historical moments.
• Testimonies of personalities.
• Promotional campaigns.
• Music from different decades.
It also has a broadcast booth, equipped with state-of-the-art technology to operate efficiently while the user public can appreciate how a live production is made.
Visitors to the Radio Museum, in addition to learning about the history of radio, will be able to appreciate pieces ranging from cassette audio tapes to a collection that shows iconic pieces of digital terrestrial radio, also known as HD Radio, whose current development offers important free alternatives for the listener such as the highest sound quality, additional channels on the same frequency, album images of the music you listen to, advertising, etc.
The hours to visit it are from Monday to Friday from 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Saturdays from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Sundays and holidays from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Access is free.
