History

XHGAS-FM signed on in 1985, owned by PEMEX and broadcasting from its seaport. PEMEX established XHGAS in order to connect the community to the petroleum industry, which has a large presence in the region. However, PEMEX, which programmed 96.3 FM with music for 10 hours a day, could not keep the station on air. Longer and longer periods of time off air endangered the station's permit, and in 1987 PEMEX gave the station to IMER. IMER changed the station's format to one of news and information, for a region relatively isolated from political and economic centers. In 1989, IMER changed the station's callsign to the current XHSCO-FM and introduced its current branding and format.[3]
