History

Logo used as Milenio Radio Laguna

XHGZ began in 1957 as XEGZ-AM 790, licensed to Ciudad Lerdo and owned by Alejandro Stevenson. Formats over the years included La Pantera, Radio 790 and Rockola 790.[2]

The station received permission to migrate to FM in 2011. On AM, Radiorama placed some of its own formats on 790, such as W Radio and Colorín ColorRadio; when the station migrated, it took on the Milenio Radio format of news-talk programming.

In March 2018, XHGZ converted to La Lupe, a new grupera classic hits format from Multimedios.

In 2019, Multimedios Radio took control of the FM station of the Grupo Radio Centro Torreón cluster; La Lupe moved to the 99.9 frequency. After a simulcast, Radiorama returned to operating XHGZ-FM as Regional Mexican "La Poderosa". A further change in the cluster saw GPS Media's El Viejón, previously at 101.1 MHz, move down to 99.5 in August 2020.

gollark: Biology is messy and complicated.
gollark: Sure. That doesn't mean people know all the causes.
gollark: I don't think it's known at this time. Lingering organ damage, virus sticking around somehow, same sort of thing as "post-viral fatigue" (something something immune system), maybe.
gollark: People have looked into it. It apparently exists. I'm not sure what you want them to do.
gollark: There are a bunch of worrying weird neurological ones.
