History

XHVOZ received its first concession on October 2, 1979. It was owned by Radiodifusoras y Televisoras del Noreste, S.A. de C.V., and initially operated by Promomedios. Its assigned call sign, never used, was XHGR-FM.[2]

In 2015, Organización PRAM was replaced by Radio Emisora XHSP-FM as the concessionaire as part of a restructuring of the stations then owned by Grupo Radio México.[3] GRM merged with corporate cousin Grupo Radio Centro in 2016.

Grupo Audiorama Comunicaciones took control of XHVOZ-FM on November 1, 2021. After two days of looping songs, the station flipped to electronic music as Vibe FM on November 3. The format was dropped on July 28, 2024; after a transition period, the station relaunched as Retro with an adult contemporary format.
