XEFP-AM 1580 received its concession on November 25, 1974, with technical tests beginning on July 18 of that year.

It was owned by Jorge Humberto González Bravo and operated with 2 kW day and 250 watts at night.

The station was managed by the Díaz Alonso family; the youngest of three brothers, Sergio, died at the XEFP transmitter site the next year as a result of an electric shock.

January 2007 saw XEFP move to new, purpose-built facilities in Jalpa.

XEFP was cleared to move to FM in February 2011.
