History

XECD was the second radio station in Puebla. It came to air on May 5, 1940, broadcasting for the first six months on 1340 kHz. Ricardo Vázquez held the concession for the 350-watt station; in 1946, it was bought by Roberto Cañedo, and five years later, Oscar Frese Márquez became the concessionaire.

In 1954, Joaquín Grajales Corral acquired XECD, building the station up during a time when radio expanded in Mexico; Radio Puebla, S.A. was created as the concessionaire in 1969. XECD ultimately became the flagship station of Grupo Oro, which is still owned by the Grajales family. It would broadcast with 10,000 watts day and 2,500 watts night.

XECD moved to 92.9 MHz FM in early 2018. At that time, it adopted a romantic music format known as La Romántica. The AM station was turned off on August 7, 2020.

gollark: Safety things mean you're likely to be less hurt by mistakes, thus ENHANCING learning.
gollark: It would be like something which electrocutes you whenever you make a compile error. You don't want to make compile errors in the first place, and making them worse is not very helpful.
gollark: If you have some accident and get injured horribly, you probably won't *learn* much, just... get horribly injured, you don't want the accident anyway.
gollark: And if there was a convenient not-too-bad way to reduce injuries with knives, they would probably be used. I imagine chefs have something.
