History

edit

The concession for XEVS-AM 1110 was awarded to Francisco Vidal Moreno in 1960, with an original transmitter location of Villa de Seris, a neighborhood of Hermosillo. Vidal Moreno had previously built and signed on XEDL-AM in the 1940s. In 1994, XEVS was authorized to add an FM station, XHVS-FM 89.7 (later 96.3) and become an AM-FM combo.

After Vidal's death, his estate sold its radio stations to Radio S.A.

XEVS discontinued AM broadcasts in 2017, but the station never formally surrendered its AM authorization.
