History

edit

Medios y Editorial de Sonora initially won two stations, one each in Guaymas and Navojoa, in the IFT-4 station auction of 2017.[2] This included XHPJOA, which cost 6.5 million pesos. XHPUAY was subsequently won after the initial winning bidder for the frequency dropped out, with a winning bid of 12 million pesos.

The stations signed on at the end of August 2018 in a simulcast.
