'''XHSILL-FM''' is a community radio station on [[106.7 FM]] in [[Hermosillo, Sonora]], known as Política y Rock'n'roll Radio.
==History==
Política y Rock'n'roll Radio originated from a program that ran on [[XHCD-FM]] 95.5 until 2011<ref>{{cite news|work=Uniradio Noticias|url=http://www.uniradionoticias.com/noticias/hermosillo/54088/politica-rock-and-roll-victimas-de-la-censura-radiofonica.html|date=2011-04-25|first=Lilian|last=Moreno|title=Política & Rock and Roll víctimas de la censura radiofónica}}</ref> and began operations as an unlicensed station on 97.7&nbsp;MHz in June 2012. On March 25, 2014,<ref>[http://lavoladora.net/?p=1203 "Confiscan equipo a radio comunitaria Política y Rock and Roll, Hermosillo, Sonora", 27 March 2014]</ref> the station's equipment was confiscated.
In order to broadcast legally, the operators of the station formed a civil association, Autogestión Comunicativa, A.C., and began working to obtain a permit. However, the Federal Broadcasting and Telecommunications Law, promulgated in July 2014, replaced permits with two types of concessions: public use, for stations owned by local, state and federal governments and public universities, and social use, for all other noncommercial stations.<ref name="teocelo"/> Two further subdivisions were established in the social use category, community and indigenous.
When Autogestión Comunicativa was awarded its social community concession by the [[Federal Telecommunications Institute|IFT]] in November 2015,<ref>{{cite news|work=La Jornada|first=Susana|last=González G.|date=2015-11-07|access-date=2016-05-06|url=http://www.jornada.unam.mx/2015/11/07/economia/028n2eco|title=Entrega Ifetel primera concesión para radio social comunitaria}}</ref> it was the first time that such a concession had been awarded, enshrining community radio stations in Mexican law; the concession was received in February 2016. The new station, broadcasting as '''XHSILL-FM''' on 106.7&nbsp;MHz, was also the first social station assigned to the new reserved band (106-108&nbsp;MHz) set aside for broadcasters of this type.
While it was the first ''new'' social community radio station (with a federal concession) on air, with testing beginning in July 2016, XHSILL was not the first social community radio station to operate. In April 2016, the IFT transitioned the existing permit of [[XEYTM-AM]], an operating radio station in [[Teocelo, Veracruz]], to a social community concession.<ref name="teocelo">{{cite news|url=https://veracruz.quadratin.com.mx/Otorga-IFT-permiso-para-transmitir-a-Radio-Teocelo/|title=Otorga IFT permiso para transmitir a Radio Teocelo|work=Quadratín Veracruz|date=2016-04-29}}</ref>
