XECB received its concession on October 20, 1950. It broadcast on 1450 kHz and was owned by and named for Mexicali radio pioneer Carlos Blando. The 250-watt station upgraded power to 1,000 watts by the 1980s and was sold to its current concessionaire in 1994.

On November 13, 2002, XECB was cleared to move to 1460 kHz with higher power.
