History
XEZHO-AM 1410 received its concession on October 26, 1994. It was owned by Radio Fama, S.A. de C.V., broadcasting with 5,000 watts as a daytimer. Pegaso acquired XEZHO in 2002, not long after shuttering its Red W Interactiva radio venture, and converted it to operate with 2 kW day and 1 kW night.
In November 2010, XEZHO was cleared to move to FM as XHZHO-FM 98.5. For a time, it operated as local talker "Zihua 98.5", owned by Grupo Pegaso before flipping to grupera, namely the La Mejor and Ke Buena formats. During this time, XHZHO was a sister station to XHUQ-FM under Alfa Medios.
In October 2016, Ke Buena moved from XHZHO to XHUQ as the former was spun off. Costa Medios retained XHZHO as a grupera station named La Nueva until November 2018, when XHZHO relaunched under new management as La 98.5, Siente El Beat.
