History
editXEO received its concession on August 24, 1946. The station was initially owned by José María González, a prominent businessman in Matamoros and Nuevo Laredo who died in 1950. In 1949, XEO began simulcasting in Reynosa on XEOR; another station, XEOQ-AM, was set up in Río Bravo in 1960. On December 31, 2018, XEO-AM migrated to FM as XHO-FM 93.5.
XEO-AM closed down April 9, 2020.[2]
HD Radio
editXHO-FM broadcasts in HD Radio and broadcasts 3 subchannels. Aside from the HD1, these additional subchannels are also on XHEOQ-FM:
- HD1: Notigape 93.5
- HD2: Radio Fórmula 1° Cadena
- HD3: W Radio
- HD4: El Heraldo Radio
No authorization is on file with the IFT for these additional services. The HD2 sub was ESPN Deportes Radio until that network ceased operations on September 8, 2019; Unanimo was created with the goal of attracting the network's former affiliates and talent.
