XEOC-AM (branded as Radio Chapultepec) is a radio station owned by Grupo Radio Digital in Mexico City. It broadcasts a mixed talk and regional Mexican format on 560 kHz.
History
XEOC-AM signed on in 1958, owned by Federico Obregón Cruces and branded as Radio Chapultepec. For years it aired a format of jazz, blues, swing, R&B and other classic genre songs, similar to its competitor XENK-AM 620.
In late 2007 Óscar Obregón encountered financial problems and sold the station to Grupo Radio Digital, which rebranded it as La Nueva Pop airing a pop format. In 2008, the format was changed again, to talk radio.
On January 31, 2010 at 23:59 CST, Radio Chapultepec ceased broadcasting to start as La Mejor AM when Grupo Radio Digital and MVS entered into a joint alliance; the new station broadcast a Regional Mexican format previously heard on the latter's XHMVS-FM 102.5. However, the alliance between GRD and MVS ended on August 31, 2012 and the station returned as Radio Chapultepec.
