Match

On December 26, 2019, Disney and ACIR announced they were mutually ending their relationship, which had covered twelve Mexican cities.[1] Ten of the twelve Radio Disney stations, including XHMAT, were transitioned to ACIR's replacement pop format, Match.[2]

Vibra Radio

In June 2021, XHMAT-FM and its sister station in Culiacán, XHVQ-FM 96.9, withdrew from Grupo ACIR, changing to Vibra Radio on June 22, 2021. Red Empresarial Total, S.A. de C.V., then acquired them in 2022.
