History
XEOQ-AM 1110 received its concession on July 1, 1960. It was originally owned by Baudelia Villagrana Martel.
The station began its AM-FM migration, signing on in July 2018.
The AM station was turned off in February 2020 after the required year of simulcasting.
HD Radio
XHEOQ-FM broadcasts in HD Radio and broadcasts 3 subchannels. Aside from the HD1, these additional subchannels are also on XHO-FM:
- HD1: Notigape 91.7
- HD2: Unanimo Deportes Radio
- HD3: W Radio
- HD4: El Heraldo Radio
No authorization is on file with the IFT for these additional services. The HD2 sub was ESPN Deportes Radio until that network ceased operations on September 8, 2019; Unanimo was created with the goal of attracting the network's former affiliates and talent.
