History
XECPQ-AM 1460 received its concession on October 25, 1985. The 1 kW daytimer later moved to 720 kHz by 2000, and then to FM in 2012. XHRTO was permitted on March 22, 2000 and originally operated as a "combo" FM for XECPQ. XHYAM joined the family in 2013 but took more than two years to get to air.
In October 2013, a grenade attack forced XHECPQ-XHRTO off air. The stations were destroyed and later rebuilt.
In 2013, the station was being operated by the Navarro brothers from Chetumal.
In November 2014, La Estrella Maya Que Habla ceased carriage of the Primera Edición morning newscast from MVS Radio, featuring Carmen Aristegui, five months before MVS removed Aristegui from the program.
