XEFM-AM 1010 received its concession in 1963 and was originally owned by José L. Bravo. Despite this, it was part of the growing broadcast empire of Carlos Ferráez Matos, which also grew to include new television station XHFM-TV channel 2, one of the first affiliates of Televisión Independiente de México, in the decade. The station migrated to FM in the late 2000s, becoming the first station with the XHFM call sign since the first FM in Mexico, XHFM 94.1 (now XEJP-FM 93.7), which operated from 1952 to 1957.

On March 31, 2022, it dropped its "One FM" format of electronic music. A new permanent format, Spanish urban as "Fiesta 94-9", debuted on May 1, 2022.
