XESFT-AM/XHSFT-FM (branded as La Poderosa) was a radio station in San Fernando, Tamaulipas.

History

XESFT-AM received its concession on November 7, 1988, and signed on two days later. It was owned by Arnoldo Rodríguez Zermeño. In 1997, Zermeño sold the station to Radiodifusora XESFT, S.A. de C.V., which in turn sold it to its current concessionaire, controlled by Raúl Garza Acosta and Raúl Gregorio Garza Salazar, in 2000.

It was authorized to move to FM in 2011. The station's concession expired without renewal on November 6, 2015, and XHSFT signed off in June 2019, leaving the entire municipality of San Fernando without FM radio service and prompting the municipality to buy advertising on a pirate Christian radio station.[1]
