History
editÓrbita Digital operated as a pirate station until it was raided in November 2014 along with other unlicensed radio stations in the region.[2] The Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) later imposed a fine.[3]
In September 2017, weeks after a major earthquake struck Juchitán, the IFT approved a new social community radio concession for Órbita Digital (incorporated as Guna Caa Yuni Xhiña, A.C.). With the concession, the newly minted XHGCY-FM moved to 106.1 MHz.
