History

[edit]

XHRR received its concession on July 10, 1980. It was owned by Romeo Flores Salinas. It had previously been affiliated with MVS Radio, carrying its FM Globo format until 2000 and Exa FM from 2000 to 2005.

In April 2019, R Communications sold the Radio United stations in Mexico, including XHCAO, XHAVO, and XHRR, to Radio Ultra, S.A. de C.V., a company owned by the Bichara family. The Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) approved the transfer on September 2, 2020.[3][4]
