History
edit
XENLT-AM 1000 received its concession on May 22, 1985. It was owned by Radio Mil del Norte, S.A. de C.V. and was a daytime broadcastr with 1,000 watts. Radio Fórmula acquired it in 1997 and increased power in 1998, adding a night time service at 100 watts.
The concessionaire changed from Radio Fórmula del Norte to Radio Transmisora del Pacífico in 2016.
In 2017, XENLT was granted an AM-FM migration as XHNLT-FM on 96.1 MHz. XHNLT signed on at 2:07 pm on March 5, 2018,[4] and formally began operations on April 23. The FM station offers three total subchannels, including the national Segunda Cadena feed and the Trión musical format.[5] XENLT-AM shut down April 23, 2019, after the required year of simulcasting.[6]
