History

XHRL received its concession on April 11, 1972. It was operated by Multimedios Radio (in its beginnings as Organización Estrellas de Oro) and programmed a Spanish-language romantic music format known as Estéreo Recuerdo. In 1990 it was sold to Núcleo Radio Monterrey (a division of Núcleo Radio Mil in Nuevo León) and changed its name to Génesis 98.1, maintaining the romantic music format and adding pop in Spanish.
