History
The story of LA LUPE 99.9 (GDL)
La Lupe Guadalajara 99.9 FM (XHKB-FM) is a radio station in Guadalajara, Jalisco, owned by Multimedios Radio, carrying its variety hits format, La Lupe.
The station traces its history to XEKB-AM, which received its concession on May 7, 1959. It was owned by Promotriz Radiofónica, S.A., and broadcast from Atemajac on 1590 kHz. Between 1963 and 1966, XEKB moved down the dial to 1410, eventually raising power to 25,000 watts day. It was sold by Radiodifusoras Capital to Grupo Radiodigital Siglo XXI, later absorbed by Grupo Radio México and then Grupo Radio Centro, in 2008.
In 2019, the station completed its migration as XHKB-FM 99.9 with 3,000 watts ERP. On August 26, 2019, days after signing on, it was announced that XHKB would begin simulcasting Alfa from XHFAJ-FM Mexico City with local advertising on September 2, 2019, ending Canal 1410 after more than 40 years.
On September 3, 2020, the station adopted the Planeta pop format, which moved from XHDK-FM 94.7. A month later, on October 9, it left AM for good. A sale to Grupo Radio Digital was announced in October 2021 but never carried out. Planeta ceased operations on December 22, 2022, and two days later the station switched to the La Lupe adult hits format from Multimedios Radio, which received the concession in May 2023.
