'''XHEXA-FM''' (104.9 [[FM broadcasting|FM]]) is a [[contemporary hit radio]] station in [[Mexico City]]. XHEXA-FM is owned by [[MVS Radio]] and is the flagship station of the ''Exa FM'' format. The transmitter site is located atop [[Cerro del Chiquihuite]].

==History== XHBST-FM signed on the air in 1974, owned by the same Stereorey consortium that brought FM to major Mexican cities on stations such as [[XHMVS-FM|XHV-FM]] 102.5 Mexico City and [[XHSRO-FM]] in Monterrey. It carried the "Stereo Best" format, which was very similar. Not long after, it changed formats completely to "FM Globo", a name it would use with varying formats including romantic music, Spanish pop and contemporary music. The station changed its callsign to XHMRD-FM on October 8, 1991, and on January 1, 2000, changed its name to "Exa FM", with a Top 40 CHR format, its name alluding to the format of airing blocks of six consecutive songs. Its callsign was later changed to XHEXA-FM to reflect its new name. The callsign had been in use for a brief time on an MVS Radio station in Hermosillo, Sonora, which returned to the [[XHBH-FM]] callsign when the XHEXA calls moved to Mexico City.
