History

XEAR-AM 1490 received its concession on July 11, 1980. Owned by Enrique Cárdenas González, a future governor of Tamaulipas who owned various radio stations in the state, it broadcast with 1,000 watts. In 1990, XEAR was sold to Comercializadora de Eventos Radiofónicos, marking the beginning of Radiorama/Grupo AS operation of the station. In the decade that followed, it moved to 660 kHz and raised power to 5,000 watts during the day. XEAR was accepted to migrate to FM in 2012.
