History

The first concession for 1590 AM was made in 1944 for XEMC-AM, made to Dolores G. Estrada de Ferreiro.^[2] During its early years, it broadcast Spanish music.

In 1963, Grupo ACIR bought the station and changed its calls to XEVOZ-AM. Under ACIR it became "Radio Voz" and broadcast tropical music. The format remained until 1989, when the station became "Radio ACIR", a format moved to XEL-AM not long after. XEVOZ in turn received the name "Capital Radio" and a rock format; the station was soon renamed "Capital Heavy Radio". The next 15 years would be marked by a carousel of formats: "Radio Capital" with tropical and norteña music (1995-1996); the short-lived "Óxido" rock format that was moved to XEFR-AM months later; ranchera music as "Bonita 1590" (1996-2004): "Radio Reloj", news with time announcements every minute (2004–06, during the brief window that XEQK-AM was not on its similar format); "Radio Tráfico", traffic conditions for Mexico City (2006–08); and "Luz 1590" with Christian pop (2008–09, being so far one of only two stations to broadcast Christian music in Mexico City, alongside XEUR-AM which had that format for a brief time in 2010).

In 2009 ACIR shed many of its stations, with Radiorama buying all of them. Under Radiorama XEVOZ had five different formats and names in 2010: "Radio 1590" with Spanish rock (January); "Radio Fiesta", a name used formerly on XEUR-AM (January–May); "Vida 1590" with contemporary music in Spanish and English; and finally, regional Mexican as "Radio Mexicana 1590" from June 1, 2010, changed to "La Mexicana 1590" in October.^[3]
