The first concession for 700 AM inZapopan was awarded on October 17, 1953, forXEAR-AM and awarded to J. de Jesús Franco Gómez.[2] By the 1960s, the station was transferred to Asociación Radiofónica, S.A., and sometime between 1969 and 1974, the callsign was changed to the present XEDKR-AM as a result of its acquisition by Radio Grupo DK (the Guadalajara arm ofRadio Programas de México). It was known as Radio Ambiente in the early 1970s and by the late 1980s had become a direct repeater ofRadio Red. It was transferred in 1991 to XEDKR-AM, S.A. de C.V., and sold along with the rest of RPM toGrupo Radio Centro in 1995.
On January 14, 2019, concurrent with a major reshuffling and the relaunch ofXERC-FM Mexico City as talk station "Radio Centro 97.7", XEDKR andXESTN-AM Monterrey began simulcasting that station instead of Radio Red.
As part of the launch of Radio Centro's TV station, XHFAMX-TDT, on October 31, 2019, Universal moved to XERC-FM and all the talk programming moved back to XHRED, which took the same "La Octava", XEDKR andXESTN-AM Monterrey began simulcasting that station.
