History

"Radio Bemba" took to the air on November 11, 2000, as a non-permitted station on 107.5 MHz, from facilities near the Universidad de Sonora where the station's founders were students. A year later, in 2001, a permit 107.5 FM was awarded to the university. While it was thought that this might help to regularize Radio Bemba's transmissions, the university launched XHUSH-FM, its own station, on the frequency instead. Radio Bemba moved to 103.3 MHz.

In September 2004, the Radio Bemba team began negotiating to obtain a permit for its radio station. On May 31, 2005, Comunicadores del Desierto, A.C., received the permit for XHCD-FM on 95.5 MHz.

The station changed its name to Zoom 95 sometime in the early 2010s.
