XHOPE-FM 89.7/XEOPE-AM 630 is a combo radio station in Mazatlán, Sinaloa. It carries the national Exa FM format from MVS Radio.
History
XEOPE received its first concession in March 1945. Then known as XETK, it broadcast on 630 with 1000 watts day and 250 watts night.
In 1972, Oscar Pérez Escobosa bought XETK along with XESA-AM in Culiacán.[3] He already owned XERJ-AM in Mazatlán, which had begun operations in 1940, and he also founded XHMZ-TV channel 7. Pérez founded Grupo Promomedios, which continues to own the rechristened XEOPE/XHOPE (named in his honor) as well as the FM successors to those stations.
