History edit

XECI-AM 1340 received its concession on September 24, 1958. By 1970, it was owned by Eduardo Morales Díaz de la Vega. The station later branded as La Nueva Radiorama and La Nueva 13-40. In the 1980s, the English-language music program Súper Chavo 13-40 was among the most popular in the market.

In the 1990s, XECI-AM was known as Romántica 1340. In 2005, XHCI changed the format to Rock 1340, rock music in Spanish and English; this lasted until April 30, 2007, when it returned to a romantic music.

In November 2010, XECI was cleared to move to FM as XHCI-FM 104.7. In 2015, Romántica moved to another station, XHKOK-FM, and XHCI-FM relaunched as @FM (Arroba FM) with a pop format.

Starting January 3, 2022, the four Radiorama stations in Acapulco (XHKOK, XHCI, XHNS, and XHPA) were leased to a new operator, Grupo Radio Visión. XHCI took on the Los 40 format from Radiópolis. Los 40 had previously been in Acapulco on XHACD-FM 92.1/XEACD-AM 550.

On April 1, 2024 Grupo Radio Visión and Radiópolis parted ways, and XHCI returned to Romántica romantic format. Romántica had previously been in Acapulco on XHKOK-FM in 107.5 (later in 88.9), from 2015 until January 3, 2022.
