XEWV-FM is a radio station in Mexicali, Baja California, broadcasting on 106.7 MHz and it airs as a Regional Mexican music format and its known as La Calurosa.

History[edit]

XEWV-FM received its concession in June 1965 for operation on 89.6 MHz. At the time, Mexico had licensed several radio stations on even decimal FM frequencies, which were never used in the United States. By 1970, all of the even decimal stations had been relocated to odd-numbered frequencies or had disappeared; XEWV was relocated to 106.7 MHz. In 1974, Cadena Baja California (now known as Grupo Cadena) bought XEWV-AM-FM.

After 27 years of regional Mexican music as Fiesta Mexicana, on September 9, 2011, XEWV-FM flipped to the More FM format, which debuted in Tijuana on sister station XHMORE-FM in 1994.

In 2020, XEWV-FM changed names and relaunched as pop station Suena FM 106.7. On April 29, 2022, Grupo Cadena ceased broadcast operations on its terrestrial stations in Mexicali.[3] It did not begin coming back on the air until April 2023, after the Cadena stations were sold to a consortium related to Tijuana news website Esquina 32.
