XHMVS-FM is a radio station in Mexico City. Broadcasting on 102.5 FM from a tower on Cerro del Chiquihuite, XHMVS-FM is owned by MVS Comunicaciones and is a news-talk station under the name Noticias MVS.

History

In 1964, a concession was awarded to Ruben Marin y Kall for a new radio station on 102.5 FM in Mexico City, under the callsign XHV-FM. The station took to the air in 1967, and by 1969, it was owned by Joaquín Vargas Gómez, founder of MVS, who increased its power from 1 to 54 kW. During this time, the station was an English-language music outlet under the name Stereorey, a name still evident in the name of the concessionaire for all of MVS's radio stations in Mexico City. The Stereorey format was available nationwide on a network of stations mostly owned by MVS.

In 1991, this station, the flagship of the Stereorey network, was renamed XHMVS-FM and its power increased to 80 kW, but the station's first format change since the 1960s would not come until 2002. At that time, Stereorey gave way nationwide to Best FM, with a newer music mix. In March 2004, this was replaced with the station's first news-based format, MVS 102.5. This station broadcast the newscasts of Grupo Monitor, as Monitor, newly broken off from Radio Centro, and MVS had a partnership at the time. After a two-year stint from 2006 to 2008, in which it took on the national MVS "La Mejor" grupera format, XHMVS-FM returned to a news format.^[2]

Format

Noticias MVS includes a wide range of news and talk programs, as well as contemporary music in English during off hours, a remnant of its previous Stereorey/Best FM formats.
