History
The concession for XHAVO was obtained by Edilberto Huesca Perrotín on February 22, 1992. In 1998, the station was sold to Grupo ACIR; ACIR sold XHAVO to an affiliate of Border Media Partners in 2004, and when BMP sold its Rio Grande Valley stations, XHAVO was included in the sale to R Communications, LLC.
In April 2019, R Communications sold the Radio United stations in Mexico, including XHCAO, XHAVO, and XHRR, to Radio Ultra, S.A. de C.V., a company owned by the Bichara family. The Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) approved the transfer on September 2, 2020.[1][2]
