History

edit

Medios y Editorial de Sonora initially won two stations, one each in Guaymas and Navojoa, in the IFT-4 station auction of 2017.[2] This included XHPMAS, which cost 11 million pesos. XHPNAV was subsequently won after the initial winning bidder for the frequency dropped out, with a winning bid of 5.5 million pesos.

The stations signed on at the end of August 2018 in a simulcast.
