XHOX-FM is a radio station on 99.3 FM in Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, Mexico. It carries the national Exa FM format from MVS Radio and is owned by Radio Grupo García de León.
History
[edit]XEOX-AM received its concession on September 26, 1939 and signed on on November 20 of that year from Los Mochis, Sinaloa.[3] It was owned by Luis Felipe García de León and broadcast on 1230 kHz.[4] The station moved to 1340 kHz in Ciudad Obregón for economic reasons in 1941; the station would soon move to 1430. The current concessionaire took possession of the station in 1977, and it became an AM-FM combo in 1994, with the FM station at first broadcasting on 106.9 MHz.
In May 2005, XHOX-FM moved from 106.9 to 106.5 MHz and increased its ERP from 3,000 to 10,000 watts. As part of its 2017 concession renewal, on May 4, 2018, XHOX-FM moved again, this time to 99.3 MHz, in order to clear 106-108 MHz as much as possible for community and indigenous radio stations.[5] Additionally, three months earlier on February 8, the station surrendered its AM frequency.[6]
