History

XEBA received its concession on May 14, 1943. It was owned by Concepción Romo Romo and broadcast as a daytimer with 1,000 watts. Radio Tapatía became the concessionaire in 1965, and in the 1990s, XEBA raised power to 10,000 watts and began nighttime broadcasts with 100 watts.

XEBA became "La Consentida" in 1989.

In 2017, XEBA-AM was sold by Televisa Radio to Zacatecas-based media conglomerate NTR Medios de Comunicación, doing business as TV Zac, S.A. de C.V. However, NTR did not begin programming XEBA on its own until September 16, 2019, when La Consentida left the air to make way for Radio Cañón, a simulcast of XEBA and fellow NTR acquisition XEHL-AM with music in English and six hours of daily news programs on weekdays.
