XHVS-FM 96.3 is a combo radio station in Hermosillo, Sonora. It carries the Máxima adult contemporary format from its owner, Radio S.A.
History[edit]
The concession for XEVS-AM 1110 was awarded to Francisco Vidal Moreno in 1960, with an original transmitter location of Villa de Seris, a neighborhood of Hermosillo. Vidal Moreno had previously built and signed on XEDL-AM in the 1940s. In 1994, XEVS was authorized to add an FM station, XHVS-FM 89.7 (later 96.3) and become an AM-FM combo.
After Vidal's death, his estate sold its radio stations to Radio S.A.
XEVS discontinued AM broadcasts in 2017, but the station never formally surrendered its AM authorization.
