The transmitter is located atop a tower in "Ciudad de la Radio" west of the city centre.

The concession for 106.5 MHz in Mexico City was awarded in 1964 to México Radio, S.A., for XHMR-FM.

Fórmula Melódica, owned by the Guadalajara-based Ondas de Alegría group, broadcast romantic and ranchera music in Spanish until 1981, when it became "La Nueva Onda" and changed its format to ballad music.

The station moved studios in 1985 after its previous facilities were heavily damaged by the 1985 Mexico City earthquake.

In 1995, XHDFM and its sisters were sold to Grupo ACIR, who changed the station to its current name and format, which had been created a year earlier on XHSH-FM.
