History
XEJP traces its lineage to the first FM radio station in Mexico. In April 1947, the Diario Oficial de la Federación ran an advisory asking for comments on the proposed award of a station on 94.1 MHz to Federico Obregón Cruces, and while said authorization was given on November 28, 1948, it was not until December 30, 1952 that the concession was awarded and the first FM station in Mexico came to air. "XHFM" broadcast with 3,000 watts and would be alone on the band until the sign-on of XEOY-FM in 1955.[2]
The story of Radio Joya, as XHFM was known, was cut short on July 28, 1957, when an earthquake led to the total destruction of its studio facilities. However, the concession lived on. In 1958, as Obregón Cruces began to focus on building a new AM radio station, XHFM's concession passed to Francisco Aguirre Jiménez, the founder of Radio Centro.
