History
The story of 88.5 Arya (Mérida)
88.5 Arya is a radio station in Conkal, Yucatán, broadcasting an English-language pop format focused on 1990s music. Its origins trace back to XERRF-AM 1150, which was awarded to Rafael Rivas Franco, founder of Grupo Rivas, on June 8, 1962, two years after it signed on. The station was originally known as Radio Felicidad.
In 1967, the concession passed to Radio Peninsular, S.A., and again in 1997 to Radio Juvenil del Sureste, S.A. de C.V. Not long after, XERRF moved to 860, and in the mid-2000s it was sold to Grupo Radiodigital Siglo XXI, S.A. de C.V., which was in turn sold to Grupo Radio México. At some point thereafter, XERRF changed concessionaires.
On June 4, 2010, XERRF received permission to migrate to FM as XHRRF-FM 88.5. In late 2020, Grupo Radio Centro transferred operations of XHRRF and XHYK to Peninsula Studios. Both stations received new formats, with XHRRF becoming "Arya FM".
