History

The concession for 1320 AM in Mexico City was originally awarded to Carmen Gutiérrez Trejo, with the callsign of XEAI. The station was eventually sold to Corporación Nacional de Radio y Televisión, S.A. The station eventually became part of Grupo Radio Centro. In 1974, the station became XECMQ-AM and "Radio Sensación", broadcasting ballad music in Spanish. In 1993, "Formato 21", a news format, replaced it.

In 1997, 1150 AM swapped callsigns and formats with 1320 AM, with this frequency becoming XEJP-AM and taking on 1150's longtime "Radio Variedades" format.

In a 1998 contract, Grupo Radio Centro announced the transfer of XEJP-AM 1320 and XEFAJ-AM 1560 (now XEINFO-AM) to José Gutiérrez Vivó, journalist and producer of the Monitor newscast, then heard on Radio Centro's XERED-AM and XHRED-FM. Infored took over operation of the station in April 2000, hoping to reach a young audience as "Track 13-20" with a rock format. In 2004, however, Radio Centro and Monitor parted ways, and this station became XENET-AM with the name Radio Bienestar, offering self-help and motivational programming.
