History

Logo as Los 40 Principales, used from 2008 to 2015
Logo as Éxtasis Digital, used from 2015 to 2021

XEPR began broadcasting on March 17, 1953, on 1480 kHz.[3] The original studios featured a mural by Teodoro Cano García depicting the history of oil.[4] The station was granted an FM combo frequency in 1994.

In February 2021, Éxtasis Digital moved to XHCOV-FM 105.9 as a result of the announced sale of XHPR-FM and XHPW-FM by Grupo Radiorama to Marcos López Zamora, the owner of XHRIC-FM 101.9, who immediately took over operation of both frequencies.

On March 21, weeks after the purchase, MVS Radio's FM Globo romantic format started.
