History

The station began broadcasting in 1968 as Radio Sinfonía de México airing classical music. In 1973, it was sold to the concessionaire of XEQK-AM and began simulcasting that station.

After being sold again to Radio Programas de México, the station was relaunched on July 12, 1986 with its current name, airing then-current music in English.

In 1995, the station's format switched to electronic music and Eurodance, and during that time even became Mxexico City's most-listened station for several months, but as the decade ended and dance music fell out from popularity, Alfa returned to be a Contemporary hit radio format by 1999. From 2000 to 2003, it even added some Spanish-language hits.

During the 2000s, Alfa Radio mostly remained with a CHR format, focusing on rock, pop and hip-hop music.

By 2009, after gradually losing audience due to competition with similar stations such as XHDFM-FM, XHSON-FM and XHPOP-FM, it changed its programming to focus on music from the 1990s with few current songs.
