The location of XECAH was strategic: it was intended as a Mexican alternative to the Guatemalan stations and the Belize-based repeater of Voice of America available in the area.

Some of the information on XECAH was broadcast in the Mam language with the goal of reaching the small communities that could receive 1350 AM.

By the early 1990s, XECAH featured a wider variety of music, supplementing marimba with ranchera, pop, rock and boleros.

It also featured informative programs such as En Confianza, for women, and Viva México, about Mexican and Chiapas customs and history, as well as the national SNN newscast from Mexico City.

The concession for XHCAH-FM lapsed effective April 13, 2023, due to failure to file a timely renewal.
