XHMAT-FM received its concession on November 22, 1979. It was originally owned by Indalecio Mojica Uriostegui.

Match[edit]

On December 26, 2019, Disney and ACIR announced they were mutually ending their relationship, which had covered twelve Mexican cities.[2] Ten of the twelve Radio Disney stations, including XHMAT, were transitioned to ACIR's replacement pop format, Match.[3]

Vibra Radio[edit]

In June 2021, XHMAT-FM and its sister station in Culiacán, XHVQ-FM 96.9, withdrew from Grupo ACIR, changing to Vibra Radio on June 22, 2021. Red Empresarial Total, S.A. de C.V., then acquired them in 2022.

In January 2023, the Vibra pop format was replaced outside the Culiacán area with a Regional Mexican format known as La Buena Vibra.
