History

Logo used as La Más Perrona until 2017

XEBS is among Mexico City's most stable radio stations, maintaining the same callsign, frequency and concessionaire throughout its history. It signed on in 1937 as "Vocero Hispano-Mexicano" but did not receive its first concession until 1943. In 1953, with the goal of offering rural music to a rapidly expanding Mexico City area, the station took on the name "Radio Sinfonola" — which it would continue with for the next 51 years, until becoming grupera-formatted "La Más Perrona" in 2004. The station had begun airing a daily hour-long program with music by Pedro Infante in 1952, which lasted for 61 uninterrupted years, being controversially cancelled in January 2013. The cancellation of the Pedro Infante program resulted in a loss of audience and the resignation of longtime host and director Gustavo Alvite.

In August 2017, the La Más Perrona name was jettisoned as part of a relaunch of the station, with a new name, Bandolera, being instituted.

XEBS-FM, started in 1961, originally broadcast on 89.7 MHz but was moved to 100.9 MHz. That station, still owned by NRM, is now XHSON-FM "Beat 100.9".
