History

XHQG began as XEQG-AM 980 (later 670), awarded to Radio Querétaro, S.A., on August 24, 1967. It initially broadcast with 1,000 watts day and 150 watts night.

The station broadcasts from Cerro El Cimatario, which is a common transmitter site for TV stations serving Santiago de Querétaro. It moved there in 2007 as part of an AM power increase to 10 kW; on FM, it is authorized for the low power of 500 watts with a height above average terrain of more than 250 meters. Around this time, the concession was transferred to México Radio.

In April 2021, NTR acquired the ABC Radio network from OEM. XHQG was rebranded as "107.9 FM", dropping the "ABC" name, until it was renamed Radio Cañón in 2022 as part of a groupwide rollout of the name. On April 24, 2023, as part of a national alliance between the company and Radiópolis,[2] 22 NTR-owned stations adopted franchise formats from Radiópolis, with XHQG adopting programming from W Radio as its format.
