XHEPR-FM is a Mexican radio station in Ciudad Juárez. It is owned by Grupo Radio México and is known as Planeta.
History
XHEPR's concession was awarded to Javier Moreno Valle, a Mexican businessman and founder of Mexico City television station XHTVM-TV, on September 30, 1994.
In 2000, Moreno Valle, facing difficulty with a dispute over the Mexico City station, sold the station to Radio Integral, S.A. de C.V. (Grupo ACIR). Under ACIR, and in partnership with US company Clear Channel Communications, XHEPR became "99.1 The Bandit", playing classic rock in English. It later became classic hits-formatted "The Eagle 99.1".
Eventually ACIR sold XHEPR to Grupo Radio México, though the concession remained in the name of Radio Integral until late 2015. Under GRM, the station has been "Pancho 99.1", later changing its name to "Radio Centro 99.1".
In 2015, XHEPR took on the Planeta Spanish CHR format from 103.5 as part of a reorganization of GRM stations in Juárez.
