History
XHMC received its concession on November 10, 1987. It was owned by Rosa Ruíz de Reyes and has been operated by Radiorama for most of its history.
Until late 2013 it was known as Estéreo Vida with a Spanish Adult Contemporary rebranding to "Vida 104.9", in 2014 became pop format as "Juventud 104.9", Vida moved to XHSOL-FM, and in 2015 to @FM (Arroba FM).
In 2017, control of the Radiorama Mexicali cluster was transferred to Grupo Larsa Comunicaciones, marking its first expansion outside of the state of Sonora.
