History

XECI-AM 1340 received its concession on September 24, 1958. By 1970, it was owned by Eduardo Morales Díaz de la Vega. The station later branded as Spanish; Castilian: italic=no|La Nueva Radiorama and Spanish; Castilian: italic=no|La Nueva 13-40. In the 1980s, the English-language music program Spanish; Castilian: italic=no|Súper Chavo 13-40 was among the most popular in the market.

In the 1990s, XECI-AM was known as Spanish; Castilian: italic=no|Romántica 1340. In 2005, XHCI changed the format to Rock 1340, rock music in Spanish and English; this lasted until April 30, 2007, when it returned to a romantic music.

In November 2010, XECI was cleared to move to FM as XHCI-FM 104.7. In 2015, Romántica moved to another station, XHKOK-FM, and XHCI-FM relaunched as @FM (Arroba FM) with a pop format.

Starting January 3, 2022, the four Radiorama stations in Acapulco (XHKOK, XHCI, XHNS, and XHPA) were leased to a new operator, Grupo Radio Visión. XHCI took on the Los 40 format from Radiópolis. Los 40 had previously been in Acapulco on XHACD-FM 92.1/XEACD-AM 550.

On April 1, 2024 Grupo Radio Visión and Radiópolis parted ways, and XHCI returned to Romántica romantic format. Romántica had previously been in Acapulco on XHKOK-FM in 107.5 (later in 88.9), from 2015 until January 3, 2022.
