History

XECPQ-AM 1460 received its concession on October 25, 1985. The 1 kW daytimer later moved to 720 kHz by 2000, and then to FM in 2012.

In October 2013, a grenade attack forced XHECPQ and sister station XHRTO-FM 100.5 off air.[2] The stations were destroyed and later rebuilt.

In 2013, the station was being operated by the Navarro brothers from Chetumal.[3]

While XHRTO and XHECPQ are both located in Felipe Carrillo Puerto, XHRTO targets José María Morelos and southern Yucatán, and XHECPQ targets southern Quintana Roo. Uc Yam holds a permit for a third station in José María Morelos, XHYAM-FM 88.1.
