History

XEHB-AM 770 received its concession on October 27, 1954. The San Francisco del Oro-based station was owned by Amador Aguilera Castañeda. In December 1985, ownership passed to Adalberto Gutiérrez Meléndez.

The 2000s and 2010s were a turbulent time for XEHB. In 2008, control passed to radio station owner Arnoldo Rodríguez Zermeño, and XEHB moved to 730 kHz with a new daytime power of 50 kW and 1 kW at night. 2012 saw authorization for the station's move to FM as XHEHB-FM 107.1. In 2014, Zermeño sold to the current concessionaire.

On January 31, 2022, the station changed frequencies to 104.7 MHz, as had been stipulated by the Federal Telecommunications Institute in 2019 to open space in the 106–108 MHz band for community and indigenous radio stations.
