XHLPS-FM is a radio station in San Luis Río Colorado, Sonora, with a transmitter 25 kilometres (16 mi) away at Colonia Ladrillera, Mexicali Municipality, Baja California. Broadcasting on 102.5 FM, XHLPS is owned by Radiorama and carries the Ke Buena national grupera format from Televisa Radio.
History
The station's concession was awarded on October 21, 1994. XHLPS was originally owned by Humberto Arechiga Espinoza, from a family with prolific broadcasting interests in Baja California Sur, and operated by Radio Grupo OIR, the dominant broadcaster in San Luis. By the late 2000s, it was known as Radio Río Digital.
In 2003, XHLPS was cleared to put in place its modern technical facilities. The tower in Colonia Ladrillera is further north than those of all other stations in San Luis, approximately 1.35 kilometres (0.84 mi) from the international border and closer to Yuma, Arizona.
In 2011, XHLPS was sold to its current concessionaire, a Radiorama subsidiary.
