History
Alejandro Díaz obtained the original XEAD concession and began operations from Aguascalientes in 1936. The station moved to Guadalajara in 1939.
By 1953, the station was known as Radio Centro de Jalisco, competing mainly against XEAV "Canal 58". In 1964, XEAD-FM came to life on 101.9 FM; it remains co-owned with XEAD-AM.
In the early 1970s, the Inforjal (Información Jalisco) news service was created, serving much of western Mexico and the Bajío region. It became known as Notisistema in 1980, the same year Radio Metrópoli was born.

gollark: You don't really need to do it in great detail.
gollark: Who's this "Winter"?
gollark: ||It seemed like they were just remotely viewing and interacting with each other, magically mapped onto the environments on each end, but could sort of move items around by accident sometimes.||
