History

XEHS-AM 1280 received its concession on November 16, 1957. The 250-watt station was owned by Benito L. Juárez, and in the 1960s, Juárez sold XEHS to Manuel Ceferino Pérez Alvarado. Control was soon after consolidated in a corporation. In the 1990s, XEHS moved to 540 kHz, enabling a daytime power increase to 5,000 watts and a nighttime bump to 2,500 watts. XHHS-FM was approved in 2010, and in 2015, XHHS-FM was authorized to increase power from 4 to 25 kW.

XEHS-AM remains on the air in a continuity obligation, to serve 27,552 people in its coverage area unserved by any other broadcast service.[2]
