History
XEOP-AM 920 received its concession on November 1, 1961. Owned by Adip Apud MartÃnez, XEOP broadcast on 920 kHz with 250 watts. By the 1980s, control of XEOP had passed to Salvador Adip Abbud and three others in the same family.
In 1994, XEOP was sold to Radio Estelar 920, S.A. de C.V. after the 1992 consolidation of the station under Salvador Kamar Apud. Soon after, XEOP changed its callsign to XEGIK-AM, reflecting its new owners (Grupo Industrial Kamar), and increased its power to 1.4 kW on the new frequency of 560 kHz.
XEGIK moved to FM in 2011.
