History

XHTO was a Spanish contemporary station prior to its flip to a Mainstream Top 40 direction in 2001. However by 2003 they evolved to a Rhythmic Top 40 direction, putting it in direct competition with cross-border rival KPRR. Although both stations offer the same mix of music, XHTO has more of a Dance/Rhythmic Pop lean approach to theirs.

In an unusual opening, the station played during 76 straight hours the song "Funky Cold Medina"
