XHFO-FM, also called Universal 92.1, formerly Universal Stereo is a radio station in Mexico City. The station has a classic hits format, airing music in English from the 1960s to the 1990s. The station is operated by Grupo Radio Centro, under contract with Grupo Siete Comunicación, which owns the station's concession. Its broadcast frequency is 92.1 MHz.

History

XHFO received its initial concession on November 26, 1964. It was owned by Raymundo Romero Damian.

XHFO signed on in 1979 as "Radio Triunfadora", being renamed to "Crystal FM" in 1982, with a contemporary Spanish music format. In 1993, as grupera music began to gain success, the station was lent to Grupo Radio Centro in exchange for XEEST-AM in a relationship that has been extended for more than 20 years. GRC promptly changed the name and format of XHFO to "Sonido Z" with grupera and regional Mexican music. In 1996 it was renamed "La Z".

On December 7, 1998, a format swap occurred between XHFO and XEQR-FM, with XHFO adopting the English classic hits format "Universal Stereo" that had begun in 1974, whereas "La Z" moved to XEQR.

The station airs a program dedicated to The Beatles twice a day on weekdays, known as "El club de Los Beatles" which has been airing uninterruptedly since 1964 (when it began on XERC-AM).
