XHOCL-FM is a radio station in Tijuana, Baja California, owned by MVS Radio. It carries a Spanish-language oldies format known as Diego.

History

The concession history for XHOCL begins in the late 1960s, with tentative approval to establish XHQS-FM on 96.1 MHz.[2] This station would have been owned by XHQS, S.A., in turn owned by Guillermo Núñez Keith. Instead, XHQS, S.A. received the concession for XHKY-FM 95.7 on June 5, 1975. This station soon after moved to 99.3 MHz; in the 1980s it was known as Fiesta Mexicana, and by 1998 it was known as X99.

In the late 1990s, XHKY changed its callsign to XHHCR-FM and became known as Hot Country Radio (branded as X-HCR on air). In 2002, XHHCR was sold to XETRA Comunicaciones, S.A. de C.V.; the new ownership changed the name of the station to "Country Music Bob" while maintaining the format; this later moved to KUSS. From January 5, 2004 until August 31, 2005, the format was Oldies known as KOOL 99.3; with this format flip came another new callsign, XHOCL-FM (referred to as XOCL). At 6 a.m., September 1, 2005, the format flipped to Spanish language oldies known as "La Preciosa". On August 1, 2007 the station flipped to MVS's La Mejor grupera format. On October 1, 2011, its name was changed to Diego 99.3 as sister station XHTIM 90.7 took on the La Mejor format.
