**XHIMR-FM** is a radio station in [Mexico City](/source/Mexico_City). Broadcasting on [107.9 FM](/source/107.9_FM) from a tower in [Ajusco](/source/Ajusco), XHIMR is owned by the [Instituto Mexicano de la Radio](/source/Instituto_Mexicano_de_la_Radio) and broadcasts a jazz music format under the brand name Horizonte 107.9. The transmitter site is located in Ajusco south of the city.

## History

XHIMR-FM received its permit late in 1999; with a three-month deadline to come on air, it signed on February 15, 2000, as "Horizonte 108" utilizing content from other IMER stations, particularly [XHOF-FM](/source/XHOF-FM). The station's original programming included New Age and electronic music, which was eliminated early on, as well as informative programs in the lead-up to the 2000 presidential election. Gradually, the station shifted its broadcasting focus on jazz and world music in its programming.

In 2005, XHIMR boosted its power to 30 kW from its original 10, while dropping the "108" moniker (which had confused listeners). In 2010, it increased its jazz focus.[2]

## Format

Horizonte 107.9 primarily broadcasts jazz music.

### HD Programming

The station used to broadcast in [HD Radio](/source/HD_Radio); this transmission was formally launched on September 17, 2012.

- **HD2** is Radio Ciudadana ([XEDTL-AM](/source/XEDTL-AM) 660),

- **HD3** is Musica del mundo. It has been silent since mid-2019.

But all digital signals became silent in early 2020 due to operating costs [3][4]
