XEAZ received its concession on April 17, 1948. The station was originally owned by Fernando Sánchez Mayans. It may have signed on as early as December 20, 1947, as a
border blaster where programs were recorded at studios in
San Diego before being broadcast from the Tijuana transmitter. Its Tijuana studios were in a building that burned in a December 1951 fire, which claimed 41 lives. In the 1980s, the station's
Notitrece newscasts were the highest-rated in Tijuana. During the
January 1993 Tijuana floods, the station opened its microphones to provide non-stop coverage and air demands for aid and food in the wake of the devastation caused. Employees pulled up to 18-hour shifts. The non-stop coverage from XEAZ, one of the city's smallest stations, led to praise from
El Universal Tijuana correspondent and an article in the
San Diego Union-Tribune. Radiodifusoras Capital acquired XEAZ in 2005 and sold the station to Grupo Radiodigital Siglo XXI, which soon merged with
Grupo Radio México. In 2015, XEAZ and 24 other radio stations were folded into
Grupo Radio Centro, a business owned by the same family as GRM. GRC leased and then sold the station to PSN in 2021. ==References==
