History

On June 5, 1992, the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation (SCT) published a series of declarations of availability of new FM radio stations in various Mexican cities, including 94.9 MHz in Chihuahua, a 50,000-watt station with call sign XHCHH-FM.[1] On March 9, 1994, the SCT selected Comunicaciones Alco, S.A. de C.V., as the winning concessionaire from among 38 bidders.[2] The station began broadcasting November 22 of that year under Multimedios Radio operation, with the concession being transferred to a subsidiary in 1998.

From 1996 to 2001, actor and comedian Omar Chaparro was one of the station's presenters, marking his first big break.
