XEQR-FM is a radio station in Mexico City. Located on 107.3 MHz, XEQR-FM is owned by Grupo Radio Centro and carries a grupera format as "La Z".
XEQR-FM broadcasts in HD and carries two subchannels, known as La Z on HD1 and Radio Centro XEQR-AM on its HD2 signal. [1] The transmitter is located atop a tower in La Mesa/Villa Alpina site at the outskirts west of Mexico City.
XEQR-FM was Mexico's top-rated radio station from 1999 to 2017.[2]
XEQR took to the air in 1974 — more than 10 years after receiving its concession on December 3, 1963 — with the name "Radio Universal" and a format of music in English from the 1950s and 1960s. In 1991, it became known as "Universal Stereo 107.3 FM" and picked up the long-running "El Club de los Beatles" program from XERC-AM, which ceased airing it when that station dropped the Radio Éxitos format.
On December 7, 1998, XEQR and XHFO-FM engaged in a format swap. XEQR picked up the grupera format "La Z" which had started its run on XHFO in 1993, while Universal Stereo moved to XHFO.
