History
[edit]XECPQ-AM 1460 received its concession on October 25, 1985. The 1 kW daytimer later moved to 720 kHz by 2000, and then to FM in 2012. In 2000, Uc Yam received the permit for a sister station, XHRTO-FM 100.5, which originally operated as a "combo" FM for XECPQ.
In October 2013, a grenade attack forced XHECPQ-XHRTO off air.[2] The stations were destroyed and later rebuilt.
In 2013, the station was being operated by the Navarro brothers from Chetumal.[3]
In November 2014, La Estrella Maya Que Habla ceased carriage of the Primera Edición morning newscast from MVS Radio, featuring Carmen Aristegui, five months before MVS removed Aristegui from the program.[4] In 2018, Luna Medios, which operates XHQAA-FM Chetumal, took over operations of XHECPQ-FM, with La Estrella Maya Que Habla returning to 100.5 only. The station is now known as Retro.
