History The history of 100.9 FM in Mexico City begins with Televideo, S.A., receiving a concession for XEOY-FM in 1957. However, the station didn't sign on the air until . The original call sign was XEBS-FM, using the moniker "La Chica Musical". In the mid-1970s, the station became known as "Sonomil" (a name derived both from its position at 100.9 FM and from XEOY-AM 1000). This name was referred to in the station's call letters when it became XHSON-FM in 1978.
The format moved toward album rock in 1983 and 1984. The station took the name "Proyecto 101" on September 1, 1983 and then Rock 101 on June 1, 1984. The call sign changed to XHROK-FM in 1994.
On August 16, 1996, due to low ratings and changes within Núcleo Radio Mil, management decided to flip formats. It became "Código 100.9" with techno EDM music. The call sign returned to XHSON-FM.
On April 24, 1999, the Sabrosita tropical music format moved to 100.9 FM from XEPH-AM 590.
On October 1, 2004, XHSON was relaunched as "Beat 100.9" with a new EDM format.
