History
editOn November 2, 1980, Radio Topolobampo, S.A. signed on XEIF-AM on 1240 kHz, with transmitter located at Charay, Sinaloa. XEIF changed calls twice: to XEREY-AM, matching its name as Radio Reyna, and then by 1994 to XEMPM-AM, now on 1030 kHz, known as Radio Fama.
In 2010, the station changed its name to La Pesada with a Regional Mexican format and local news. On November 3, of that same year, XEMPM was authorized to migrate to FM, and XHMPM-FM 98.9 came to air at the end of January 2011.[3]
After the failure of La Pesada, Radiosistema del Noroeste affiliated with MVS Radio to launch its Exa FM format in Los Mochis, effective May 14, 2011.[4]
