History
XEHC-AM received its concession on 22 November 1958. It was owned by José de Jesús Partida Villanueva and broadcast on 920 kHz with 2,500 watts. By the end of the 1960s, it was owned by Gloria Herminia Enciso Power and had increased its power to 10,000 watts day and 1,500 night on 1590 kHz.
XHHC-FM came to air on 5 January 2013, with the AM transmitter being shut off the next year. The 92.1 frequency in Ensenada had previously been occupied by XHBCE-FM, which in the mid-2000s conducted a series of moves and a frequency change in order to move from Ensenada to Tecate. XHHC during this time was the Ensenada affiliate for Spanish-language radio broadcasts of the San Diego Chargers.
In 2017, Grupo Audiorama and XHHC went their separate ways, with XHHC changing names to Radio Alegría before coming under Multimedios Radio management and picking up its La Caliente grupera format. On 7 April 2018, Multimedios signed on XHPENS-FM 94.7 and moved La Caliente there, leaving XHHC to take on the Hits format.
In February 2018, XHHC-FM was approved for a power increase from 6 to 12.5 kW. XHHC switched from Hits FM to La Lupe on 4 June 2019 and returned to La Caliente in November 2020 when La Lupe moved to XHPENS.
