XESP-AM received its concession on January 8, 1947. It was owned by Herminio Macías Alonso and broadcast initially on 1400 kHz with 250 watts. Víctor Manuel Chávez y Chávez bought XESP in 1954, only to sell it to Radio Impulsora de Occidente the next year. By the 1960s, it broadcast with 5,000 watts day and 1,000 watts night on 1070 kHz.

For decades until the mid-2000s, XESP was known as Radio Juventud. At that time, it adopted a news/talk format known as 1070 Noticias, Con la Información Que Más Te Interesa ("With the Information That's Relevant to You").

Upon second-wave AM-FM migration, on April 16, 2018, XESP-AM signed on XHESP-FM 91.9 and ditched its all-news format for a rock format known as "Rock & Soul", as well as new newscasts titled "Líder Informativo". The AM signed off December 10, 2019. [2]
