History

The first concession for 700 AM in Zapopan was awarded on October 17, 1953, for XEAR-AM and awarded to J. de Jesús Franco Gómez.[2] By the 1960s, the station was transferred to Asociación Radiofónica, S.A., and sometime between 1969 and 1988, the callsign was changed to the present XEDKR-AM as it became a repeater for Radio Red, then owned by Radio Programas de México. RPM's founder, Clemente Serna Martínez, also had owned XEDK-AM 1250. It was transferred in 1991 to XEDKR-AM, S.A. de C.V., and sold along with the rest of RPM to Grupo Radio Centro in 1994 and 1995.
