History

XEOK received its concession on June 19, 1948. It broadcast initially on 950 kHz (soon moving to 920) and was owned by Carlos Roa Montes de Oca, who also built a studio-transmitter link for XEOK in the FM band in the late 1950s. XEOK was sold to Radiodifusión Regiomontana, S.A. in 1963, which boosted its power to 1 kW by the 1980s. In the 1990s, XEOK moved from 920 to 900 kHz which allowed a further power increase to 10,000 watts. ACIR concessionaires have owned XEOK since 2000.
