History

XENP-AM 830—also known as XENSM—received its concession on May 15, 1964. It was originally located in Navolato and owned by Salvador Águilar Montenegro, whose family owned several local gas stations,[2] operating as a 1,000-watt daytimer. Within several years, the call sign was changed to XEVQ-AM, and station operations moved to Culiacán. By the 1980s, XEVQ was owned by Radio y Televisión del Noroeste and operating with 5,000 watts. In the 2000s, it added 1,000 watts at night.

XEVQ migrated to FM in 2011 as XHVQ-FM 96.9.
