XHGZ-FM is a radio station in Gómez Palacio, Durango on 99.5 FM. It is owned by Radiorama and carries its La Poderosa format.
History
XHGZ began in 1957 as XEGZ-AM 790, licensed to Ciudad Lerdo and owned by Alejandro Stevenson. Formats over the years included La Pantera, Radio 790 and Rockola 790.[2]
The station received permission to migrate to FM in 2011. On AM, Radiorama placed some of its own formats on 790, such as W Radio and Colorín ColorRadio; when the station migrated, it took on the Milenio Radio format of news-talk programming.
In March 2018, XHGZ converted to La Lupe, a new grupera classic hits format from Multimedios.
In 2019, Multimedios Radio took control of the FM station of the Grupo Radio Centro Torreón cluster; La Lupe moved to the 99.9 frequency. After a simulcast, Radiorama returned to operating XHGZ-FM as Regional Mexican "La Poderosa".
