XEHL received its concession on June 17, 1941, and signed on the next year.
XEHL was affiliated to Radio Programas de México until 1949, when owner Alejandro Díaz Guerra broke ties with RPM.
In 1984 it was known as "La Poderosa HL" means a Mexican regional and grupera music format.
It remained part of the Díaz family through various owners until Francisco Javier Díaz Romo sold many of his Guadalajara stations from Radio Comerciales to Jalisco to Televisa Radio in 1992.
In 2018, Televisa sold XEHL-AM to TV Zac, S.A. de C.V.[3] However, NTR Medios de Comunicación did not begin programming XEHL on its own until September 16, 2019, when W Deportes left the air in Guadalajara to make way for Radio Cañón, a simulcast of XEHL and fellow NTR acquisition XEBA-AM with music in English and six hours of daily news programs on weekdays.
