XHPOP-FM, better known as Radio Disney 99.3, is a radio station in Mexico City that broadcasts pop, rock music and dance music. The station is owned by Grupo ACIR and airs the Radio Disney format.

History

XHPOP began broadcasting in 1977, adopting the "Digital 99.3" name in November 1988, and troughout its existence it basically focused on a Top 40 format, airing music both in English and Spanish. Its more important programs were the morning show Huevos and the call-in show Friends Connection, hosted by Sofía Sánchez Navarro, who left the station in 2009 and thus both programs were cancelled.

Changes in 2013

In August 2013, the station stopped using the "Digital" name on-air, only referring itself as "99-3". This sparked speculation about a format change, with Radio Disney as the main replacement option.[2] This rumors were confirmed, when it was announced that on October 9, XHPOP-FM would become the Mexican version of Radio Disney, which officially launched at noon on that day. Most of the Digital hosts remain on Radio Disney.[3][4]
