History

The concession for 740 AM was awarded in March 1971 to Enrique Lodoza Gómez. In 1994, the FM station was added.

In 2012, XEKV/XHKV was sold to Radio Dinámica del Sureste, which was primarily owned by México Radio, S.A. de C.V., the radio subsidiary of Organización Editorial Mexicana (OEM).

In 2021, NTR acquired the ABC Radio group from OEM. The station continued to broadcast the Exa FM pop format from MVS Radio until April 16, 2023, when NTR's four Exa FM stations left the network. On April 24, 2023, as part of a national alliance between the company and Radiópolis,^[3] 22 NTR-owned stations adopted franchise formats from Radiópolis. With Ke Buena and Los 40 already represented in Villahermosa, XHKV–XEKV joined the W Radio news/talk network. W Radio had previously been in Villahermosa on XEREC-AM 940 and XHVHT-FM 99.1/XEVHT-AM 1270 on Radiorama.
