XHMET-FM is a radio station in Mexico in Temozón, Yucatán, Mexico, serving Valladolid. Broadcasting on 91.9 FM, XHMET is owned by Corporativo Rivas and carries a grupera format known as La Nueva Reverenda.

History

XHMET began as XEME-AM 1490, with a concession awarded in 1972 to Manuel Rodríguez Escoffie. The original concession specified Valladolid as the location of the new AM station. The station later moved to 570 kHz as a daytimer, operating with 2.5 kilowatts of power.

In 2006, the station moved its transmitter to Temozón, nine miles (15 km) further down the Valladolid-Tizimín highway. In 2010, it received authorization to move to FM. As there was already an XHME-FM in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, the station became XHMET-FM 91.9. From 2012 to 2015, the station was a franchise of the La Mejor Regional Mexican format from MVS Radio.

In 2015, the station became known as Spanish; Castilian: italic=no|La Reverenda del Oriente, a regional version of the format and name on XHMRI-FM 93.7 in Mérida. This ended on May 22, 2024, when Rivas abruptly shut down the local operation and locked out all employees. The station changed programming that day and rebranded temporarily as "La 91.9 de Valladolid".
