History

XHVOX began operations in 1939 as XEDS-AM 1400, owned by Alejandro A. Schober. In 1960, Schober sold the station, and it became XEOW-AM, broadcasting on 970 kHz. It was owned by Mendivil y Elizalde, S.A. until its sale to Amplitud Modulada de Sinaloa, S.A., in 1985. Amplitud Modulada rechristened the station XEVOX-AM.

It was sold to ABC in 2008 and migrated to FM in 2011.
