XHOCA received its concession in October 1992; the concession was originally awarded to José Antonio Ibarra Fariña, part of the Ibarra family that founded Grupo ACIR.
In 2017, XHOCA picked up the Amor format previously on XHIU-FM 105.7, ditching the grupera La Comadre format. Amor ran on XHOCA until October 31, 2023. On December 1, 2023, XHOCA adopted the Los 40 pop brand (previously on XHYN-FM 102.9) under new operators.
