History

The XEPH concession was awarded in November 1940, with the station coming to air in 1942.[2]

After moving in a rock direction for years, in August 1967, the station became rock-formatted "La Pantera" (The Panther). In 1987, the station became Spanish modern rock-formatted Espacio 59, only to go back to 1960s and 1970s rock in December 1989. In 1990, XEPH became rock-formatted "Radio Alicia", and from 1992 to 1995, it became "X-Press Radio 590" with an English-language news and music format, similar to Radio VIP.

1995 saw the creation of Sabrosita, which moved to XHSON-FM 100.9 in 1999 to make way for a return of La Pantera to 590. In 2002, La Pantera was replaced again, this time with a sports radio format as Estadio 590; the next year, Estadio 590 gave way to romantic music-formatted Tuya 590.

In 2004, with the creation of the current Beat 100.9 dance music format, Sabrosita returned to 590 AM.

gollark: A million subscribers is enough to be... vaguely known... by probably something like one in two thousand (approximately) of the people with access to YouTube and whatnot.
gollark: What could *possibly* go wrong with making an even *more* powerful one?
gollark: Would still probably cost more in electricity than you get from it?
gollark: That is almost certainly not profitable.
