History
editXHQI was the first state-owned broadcast station in Nuevo León, coming to air in 1978 as "Radio Gobierno". XEQI-AM followed the next year, and services in rural Nuevo León were opened in the 1980s.
For most of its history, it was Opus 102 with a classical music format. The July 2017 decision to move Opus to 1510 AM and launch a new station, Libertad 102, focused around popular music met with criticism in the cultural community.[2]
