History

XEABCA began on 1590 kHz in 1984, when a concession was awarded for XEYX-AM, owned by Mario Ignacio Melendez Soto. Its first format was tropical music as "La Gigante".

In 1997, the station was sold to MVS Radio and rechristened XEMVS-AM. The concessionaire name for this station, Stereorey Mexicali, is a nod to MVS's Stereorey format; stations owned by MVS Radio have the concessionaire Stereorey México, S.A. In the 1990s, the station also slid down from 1590 kHz to 820. During MVS ownership, the station affiliated to the La Mejor regional Mexican national format, later becoming oldies-formatted Nostalgia 820 and grupera-formatted Radio Lobo.

In 2004, MVS sold the station to Organización Editorial Mexicana, which changed its calls to the current XEABCA-AM and brought its ABC Radio programming to Mexicali. OEM also bought XEMMM-AM 940 from Cadena Baja California.

gollark: Maybe I should somehow procedurally generate badges like that.
