XHCIA received its concession on September 28, 1993; originally licensed to Coquimatlán, it was owned by Rosa María Quintero Barbosa. It was sold to its current concessionaire in 1997.

Match[edit]

On December 26, 2019, Disney and ACIR announced they were mutually ending their relationship, which had covered twelve Mexican cities.[2] Ten of the twelve Radio Disney stations, including XHCIA, were transitioned to ACIR's replacement pop format, Match.[3]

Sale[edit]

In 2021, concessionaire Colima Frecuencia Modulada, S.A. de C.V., which was 50 percent owned by ACIR and 50 percent by Gustavo Adolfo Petriccioli Morales, sold itself to Manuel Armando Caraveo Urenda y José Encarnación Silvestre Rocha.[4] The station dropped the ACIR-specific Match brand but remained in the pop format as "91.7, Tu Playlist".
