J.

Roberto Levy died in July 1956, while he was serving as Municipal President of Colima, but the station has remained in his family.
It migrated to FM in 2011.
On June 21, 2019, RadioLevy announced that Grupo Radiorama would take over operation of its three radio stations on July 1, 2019.[4] New Audiorama formats formally launched on the RadioLevy stations on July 15.
