92.1 La Caliente (Ensenada)

LA CALIENTE 92.1 (XHHC-FM) broadcasts on 92.1 FM in Ensenada, Baja California, carrying the La Caliente regional Mexican format from Multimedios Radio.

The station traces its roots to XEHC-AM, which received its concession on 22 November 1958. It was owned by José de Jesús Partida Villanueva and broadcast on 920 kHz with 2,500 watts. By the end of the 1960s it was owned by Gloria Herminia Enciso Power and had increased its power to 10,000 watts day and 1,500 night on 1590 kHz. For most of its history it was known as Radio Bahía. The 92.1 frequency in Ensenada had previously been occupied by XHBCE-FM, which in the mid-2000s made a series of moves and a frequency change to relocate from Ensenada to Tecate.

XHHC-FM came to air on 5 January 2013, with the AM transmitter shut off the next year. In 2014, after changing formats twice, it became La Bestia Grupera; during this time it was the Ensenada affiliate for Spanish-language broadcasts of the San Diego Chargers. In 2015, XHHC and XHEPF-FM 89.1 swapped formats, with this station becoming adult contemporary "Vida 92.1". In 2017, Grupo Audiorama and XHHC parted ways, and the station changed its name to Radio Alegría before coming under Multimedios Radio management with the La Caliente regional Mexican format. On 7 April 2018, Multimedios signed on XHPENS-FM 94.7 and moved La Caliente there, leaving XHHC to take the Hits FM format.

In February 2018, XHHC-FM was approved for a power increase from 6 to 12.5 kW. It switched to La Lupe on 4 June 2019 and returned to La Caliente in November 2020 when La Lupe moved to XHPENS. Members of the Enciso family sold XHHC-FM to Grupo Multimedios directly in a transaction approved by the Federal Telecommunications Institute on 14 September 2022.
