History
The story of DIGITAL 98.5 (Xalapa)
Digital 98.5 (XHWA-FM) is a radio station on 98.5 FM in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico, broadcasting an English-language adult contemporary format. It is owned by Avanradio.
XHWA received its concession on April 14, 1987. It was originally owned by Gloria Alicia Iñiguez Torres but was sold in the 1990s to Avanradio.
Before 2019, the station carried the One FM dance format, which was later exported to Veracruz on Avanradio's XHFM 94.9. That run ended on May 31, 2019, when GRD took over and flipped the station to Exa FM.
On May 1, 2021, most of GRD's stations dropped their MVS Radio franchised brands. XHWA remained a pop station and adopted the same "Soy FM" imaging used by XHPR-FM in the city of Veracruz. The station then rebranded as Joya before an operator trade with Avanradio's XHTZ-FM 96.9, which saw GRD/Valanci Media Group move its programming to that frequency.
