The UAT began producing radio programs in 1983, mostly being broadcast on other radio stations within the portion of their broadcast days reserved for the state. The first station, XHUNI-FM in Ciudad Victoria, came on air December 19, 1991, with its official opening two months later.
Programming
Programming on Radio UAT includes a mix of music and cultural programs, as well as programming aimed at the UAT community such as the newscast Enlace Universitario.
From 1998 to 2019, Radio UAT maintained five low-power transmitters in other cities in Tamaulipas. A failure to file a timely renewal led to their deletion in 2015; the stations continued operating for several more years.
