History

XEHU-FM received its concession on June 29, 1972. It was highly unusual as the only FM radio station in southern Mexico to carry an XE callsign. The callsign came from co-owned XEHU-AM 1300, which migrated to FM as XHHU-FM 89.9.

On January 29, 2019, the station officially became XHGMS-FM,[1] though the station had unofficially used those call letters since at least 2012.
