**XHIMER-FM** is a radio station in the [Mexican](/source/Mexico) capital [Mexico City](/source/Mexico_City). The station is owned by the [Instituto Mexicano de la Radio](/source/Instituto_Mexicano_de_la_Radio) (IMER) and broadcasts a classical music format under the brand name Opus 94. The transmitter site is located in Ajusco south of the city.

## History

In the 1970s, the [Instituto Politécnico Nacional](/source/Instituto_Polit%C3%A9cnico_Nacional) ceded its rights to 94.5 FM to the [Secretariat of Public Education](/source/Secretariat_of_Public_Education) so the SEP could move Radio Educación ([XEEP-AM](/source/XEEP-AM)) to FM. However, the money was not available for the SEP to build the station, and so the proposal was stalled.[2]

The Opus format began on 710 AM ([XEMP](/source/XEMP-AM)) in 1983. That same year, 94.5 FM, the last full-power FM frequency available in Mexico City, was put up to attract noncommercial permits. Several groups — the IPN and IMER among them — jockeyed for the station, with IMER winning. Opus moved to the new 94.5 XHIMER-FM on July 4, 1986, when 50 kW transmissions commenced.[3] The station received authorization for a power boost to 100 kW in 1991, but IMER was not able to install a transmitter capable of outputting 100 kW until 1999.

The concession for XHIMER-FM lapsed effective April 13, 2023, due to failure to file a timely renewal. The [Federal Telecommunications Institute](/source/Federal_Telecommunications_Institute) granted a new concession, which initially bore the template call sign XHCPDO-FM, which was changed back to XHIMER-FM along with those for five other stations whose concessions were lapsed and reawarded.[4]

## Format

Opus 94 primarily broadcasts classical music. The station broadcasts concerts of the [Mexico City Philharmonic Orchestra](/source/Mexico_City_Philharmonic_Orchestra).

The station used to broadcast in [HD Radio](/source/HD_Radio);[5] this transmission was formally launched on September 17, 2012. Its HD2 signal was co-owned [XEB-AM](/source/XEB-AM) and its HD3 was Jazz Digital, all of which became silent in early-2020 due to operating costs.[6][7]
