XHRM-FM (Magic 92.5) is an English-language Rhythmic adult contemporary radio station serving the areas of Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico and San Diego, California, United States. Licensed to Tijuana, the station broadcasts at 92.5 MHz on the FM Radio band. XHRM's concession is held by the Mexican company Comunicación XERSA, S.A. de C.V., and XHRM is one of three Tijuana/San Diego stations programmed by Local Media San Diego LLC. The station's studios are in San Diego's Sorrento Valley district.
92.5 FM debuted in February 1979 as San Diego's first Urban contemporary FM station, featuring soul, rap, and gospel music. Although owned by a Mexican company (as required by Mexican law), it was programmed by a U.S. company. At the time, it was the only San Diego station managed by blacks and programmed specifically for the black community.
XHRM became one of the first stations in the U.S. to regularly play Freestyle songs as a part of their playlist. The combination of Latin-based Freestyle songs along with the station's original mainstream R&B sound was a success and was the station's signature for the decade.
Once I was a ship out on the sea
so many miles from home
I felt so small, so lost and insecure
everything was wrong
But I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, yes I am
Refrain (2x):
Taking my life into my own hands
living my dreams and taking the chance
walking my talk and making romance
Living my life today
Now I see the different shades of me
the writings on the wall
I'm not alone and not so insecure
I'm the one who's keeping score
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, yes I am
Refrain (2x)
