XERCN or Radio Hispana 1470 (AM) is a Spanish News/Talk radio station in Tijuana . It is programmed by San Diego based Uniradio, Inc, with its license and transmitter is owned by a Mexican company. Until recently, XERCN was the first station for Mexico's Radio Cadena Nacional network, and the station still carries the name of RCN's founder, the late Rafael Cutberto Navarro, who was also the creator of the "Kaliman" radio drama.
Before its purchase by Uniradio, XERCN broadcast a wide variety of programming, from children's programming (La isla infantil de Beto Grillo) to public affairs programming (Politica y Politicos), but it was best known for its radionovelas, produced through the network's production arm, Producciones RCN. Many of these radionovelas are still being heard throughout the world to this day. Among the most famous were its productions of "Las aventuras de Kaliman" and the Porfirio Cadena saga. It was also one of the few stations in Mexico that transmitted old episodes of the Cuban radio comedy "La tremenda corte."
