XHINFO-FM (105.3 FM) is a radio station in Mexico City. XHINFO-FM is owned by XEFAJ, S.A. de C.V., a company controlled by Eduardo Henkel Rojas. It is presently operated by Capital Digital, owner of Chilango magazine, and is known as Radio Chilango.
XHINFO-FM broadcasts in HD.[2]
Established in the early 1960s as an AM station on 1560 kHz, today's XHINFO has had a turbulent history. In the 2000s, an agreement by longtime owner Grupo Radio Centro to spin the station off to José Gutiérrez Vivó, host of the Monitor newscast, ended in a split and years of lawsuits that dragged the station off the air. However, a sale to Henkel, who had been a creditor, led to an interim operation through most of the 2010s. XEINFO-AM won the only slot for a commercial Mexico City station to migrate to FM in 2017 and began FM broadcasting the next year under an agreement with a company that programmed the station as "Aire Libre" with an indie and eclectic music format. A further dispute between the two parties led to Aire Libre being forced off the air in late 2021. Two different formats have aired on the station since the Aire Libre dispute.
