XESURF-AM is a Mexican-licensed radio station. The transmitter site is located near Tijuana, Baja California. The AM station is operated by Zion Multimedia Inc. located in Downey, California, United States.
From May 2007 to November 27, 2007, XESURF aired classic country music as "540 The Zoo." From October 2006 to May 2007, it was a more contemporary country format, first simulcasting AM1260 (was KGIL, now KMZT), then FM105.1 (KKGO). From March 2002 until February 2004, the station broadcast an adult standards format; this was also a simulcast with KGIL. From February 2004 to June 2005 the station played oldies form the 1950s and 1960s. From June 2005 to October 2006, the station played Adult Standards music; much of a simulcast of KGIL.
XESURF's signal is heard throughout much of Southern California, including the San Diego and Los Angeles metropolitan area.
In the 1940s, 540 kHz was home to KFMB. When KFMB moved up the dial to 760 kHz, the government broadcast authorities in the U.S. and Mexico reserved 540 kHz for a Mexico-based radio station. However, for a few years in the 1980s, there was a U.S.-licensed radio station at this frequency, KSHO in Hesperia, California. That station played Broadway show tunes.
