XHEZAR-FM is a radio station on 96.1 FM in Puebla, Puebla, Mexico. It carries the Arroba FM pop format from Grupo Radiorama.

History

XEZAR-AM 920 received its concession on January 6, 1989. It began broadcasting later that year as part of Corporación Puebla de Radiodifusión, a subsidiary company of Grupo ACIR; the concession was held by Alberto Guilbot Serros until ACIR purchased it outright in 1998. The original format was ranchera as Q Bonita. At the beginning of the 2000s, it changed its format to Spanish adult contemporary as Inolvidable; in 2004, it returned to ranchera as "Bonita". Three years later, it became 920 Noticias, a repeater of the Mexico City stations 88.9 Noticias and La 1260.

In 2009, Grupo ACIR sold a group of its stations, located throughout Mexico, to Radiorama, including XEZAR-AM. This was Radiorama's first station in the Puebla market, and the company opted to lease it out to Grupo Oro. It changed to grupera music as La Z before becoming W Radio Puebla in 2012.

In 2014, control of XEZAR-AM was taken over by Radiorama. Under Radiorama operation, its formats have been Encuentro 920, airing a pop format, and Éxtasis Digital, English-language classic hits. In 2017, it joined the Arroba FM pop network.

XEZAR migrated to FM on September 13, 2018, as XHEZAR-FM 96.1. A new tower was installed at the Radiorama studios. The AM station concluded broadcasting in 2020. [1]
