History
The concession for XERCA-AM was awarded in 1952 to Radio Torreón, S.A. The station was known as XEOB-AM and later XETAA-AM; while it was originally authorized on 1490 kHz, it quickly moved to 920. The original concessionaire was Clemente Serna Martínez, founder of Radio Programas de México.[3]
In 1992, XETAA was sold to Promotora Radiofónica de la Laguna. Two years later, it became an AM-FM combo, one of 80 authorized at the time, with the sign-on of XHTAA-FM 102.7. In 1998, the callsigns were changed to XERCA and XHRCA (the latter previously used by Mexico City station XHFAJ-FM).
In 2015, XHRCA and 24 other radio stations were folded into Grupo Radio Centro, a business owned by the same family as GRM.
