History
editXHSH-FM's history begins with a concession awarded on May 14, 1964 to Narciso Solis Huerta, who eventually sold it to FM Radio, S.A. on November 8, 1968. The station was launched by FM Radio on August 4, 1970 as "Radio Amistad", carrying a contemporary music format in English and Spanish.
In 1986, the station became "Stereo Nova", simulcasting XEL-AM 1260 and carrying youth music in Spanish. It returned to its old name as "Stereo Amistad" in the late 1988, with English-language contemporary music, jazz and New Age. The name was kept when the station changed to Spanish-language pop and romance music in 1993, but the station became "Mix 95.3", with English contemporary music, the following year.
In May 1995, Grupo ACIR, owner of FM Radio, S.A. de C.V., added 88.9, 99.3 and 106.5 FM to its stable; previously XHSH was its only Mexico City station. This resulted in the Panorama Informativo newscast moving to 88.9 and the Mix format to 106.5. XHSH became "OK" with tropical music, then became "La Comadre" with a grupera format on November 24, and from 1997 to 2002 contemporary music in Spanish as "Inolvidable". It took on the Amor format from 106.5 FM in 2002, which remains to this day.[2]
