History

XHHES began operations in 1987 as XEHES-AM 1040. In the 1990s and early 2000s, the station broadcast Christian programming as Radio Luz. In 2004, it became Éxtasis Digital, an English-language adult contemporary music format previously on XHDI-FM 88.5. In 2007, Éxtasis Digital moved to XEFO-AM 680, and 1040 AM became Radiorama Siglo XXI, a news/talk format.

XEHES received approval to migrate to FM in 2011. In 2013, Grupo BM Radio began operating XHHES with a pop format known as Estéreo Sensación.

In 2016, XHHES and XHUA-FM 90.1 switched formats and operation, with XHHES inheriting the longtime Estéreo Vida contemporary format.

In 2020, Grupo Bustillos Radio took over operation of XHHES-FM and flipped the station to its La Patrona format of Regional Mexican music.
