'''XHBC-FM''' is a [[radio station]] in [[Ciudad Guzmán, Jalisco|Ciudad Guzmán]], [[Jalisco]], Mexico, broadcasting on 95.1&nbsp;MHz [[FM radio|FM]].

==History==

===XEBC callsign===
XEBC was the former call sign of a [[Border blaster|border-blaster]] radio station licensed to the [[Tijuana]] / [[Rosarito]] area of [[Baja California]], [[Mexico]]. The original XEBC, which launched in the early 1930s, was the first "border blaster" station in the Tijuana area.<ref>[http://www.fybush.com/site-030403.html Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico], Scott Fybush, April 3, 2003.</ref>

===In Ciudad Guzmán===
The XEBC callsign returned to the air in December 1948, when Radio Ciudad Guzmán, S.A., was awarded the concession for '''XEBC-AM''' 990, serving Ciudad Guzmán with 1,000 watts day and 100 watts night. Radio Armonía became the concessionaire in 1972 and was awarded the FM combo station in 1994.

In 2016, XEBC-XHBC, along with [[XHIS-FM]] 106.3, was bought by Grupo Radiofónico ZER; ownership of the concessionaire Radio Armonía, which had been held by Guadalajara-based Unidifusión, was transferred entirely to Rodrigo Rodríguez Reyes and Josefina Reyes Sahagún.<ref>[http://www.ift.org.mx/sites/default/files/conocenos/pleno/sesiones_pleno/acuerdo_liga/vp_ucs_p_ift_170816_440.pdf IFT authorization of share sale, 17 August 2016]</ref> The result was a new name and brand for the station.

On March 11, 2019, Grupo Radiofónico ZER surrendered the AM frequency to the IFT, citing high costs of operation.<ref>[https://rpc.ift.org.mx/vrpc/pdfs/43457_190429104824_7032.pdf RPC: #034156 AM Surrender - XEBC-AM]</ref>
