XEPE-AM at 1700 kHz is an English-language sports radio station calling itself ESPN 1700. XEPE is licensed to Tecate, Baja California, Mexico. Like other Baja California stations broadcasting in English near the Mexico-United States border, it focuses on listeners in the San Diego, California area. The station carries programming from ESPN Radio most of the day. On weekdays, between 9 am and 4 pm, it carries business and money related programming, including syndicated shows from Dave Ramsey, San Diego-based Ray Lucia and local hosts.
XEPE is on the air 24 hours a day at 10,000 watts in the AM expanded band, commonly known as the "X band". The 1700 kHz frequency has de facto clear channel status. There are no expanded AM band stations at AM 1700 in the United States west of Texas or in the rest of Mexico. Unlike X-band stations in the U.S., which reduce their power to 1,000 watts at night, XEPE keeps its 10,000 watts of power around the clock.
XEPE's programming and sales rights in the U.S. are owned by Local Media of San Diego, a division of the Broadcast Company of the Americas. The same firm operates XEPRS-AM, a sports station affiliated with CBS Sports Radio and known as "The Mighty 1090", and Classic Hits station XHPRS-FM known as "105.7 Max-FM". The studios and offices are located in the neighborhood of Sorrento Valley, San Diego.
