## History

The history of 100.9 FM in Mexico City begins with Televideo, S.A., receiving a concession for XEOY-FM in 1957. However, the station didn't [sign on](/source/Sign-on) the air until April 18, 1968; 58 years ago (1968-04-18). The original [call sign](/source/Call_sign) was XEBS-FM, using the moniker "La Chica Musical". In the mid-1970s, the station became known as "Sonomil" (a name derived both from its position at 100.9 FM and from [XEOY-AM](/source/XEOY-AM) 1000). This name was referred to in the station's call letters when it became XHSON-FM in 1978.

The format moved toward [album rock](/source/Album_rock) in 1983 and 1984. The station took the name "Proyecto 101" on September 1, 1983 and then Rock 101 on June 1, 1984. The call sign changed to XHROK-FM in 1994.

In August 1996, due to low ratings and changes within Núcleo Radio Mil, management decided to flip formats. It became "Código 100.9" with [techno EDM](/source/Electronic_dance_music) music. The call sign returned to XHSON-FM.

On January 8, 1999, the Sabrosita tropical music format moved to 100.9 FM from [XEPH-AM](/source/XEPH-AM) 590. The tropical format moved back to AM on September 20, 2004, at which time 100.9 FM returned to the EDM format on October 1.
