XHLO-FM is a radio station in Chihuahua, Chihuahua. It broadcasts on 100.9 MHz and carries the Exa FM format from MVS Radio.

AM history

XELO was originally the call sign of a border-blaster radio station licensed to the Tijuana / Rosarito area of Baja California, Mexico. At different times these same call letters were also assigned to other Mexican stations based in Nogales, Sonora and Piedras Negras, Coahuila.

On October 25, 1976, the XELO calls returned, this time to Chihuahua, on a new 1 kW daytimer, XELO-AM. By the time the 1990s rolled around, the station had upgraded its power to 5 kW day and .5 kW night. The station moved to FM in 2011.

In 2013, the 1010 AM frequency was shut down.
