XEINFO-AM is a radio station in Tlalnepantla, State of Mexico, serving Mexico City. Located on 1560 kHz, XEINFO-AM is owned by XEFAJ-AM, S.A. de C.V., concessionaire for Grupo Radio Centro, and broadcasts regional Mexican music.

History

The concession for 1560 AM at Ciudad Satélite was originally awarded to Ruben Marín y Kall, with the callsign of XERMK-AM. In 1969, when the station's concession was renewed, it became XEVIP-AM and broadcast news in English as "Radio VIP".^[2]^[3] In 1979, Grupo Radio Centro bought the station, changed its calls to XEFAJ-AM and introduced a regional Mexican format under the name "Radio Consentida". In 1983, the concession passed to Radio Industrial de la Provincia, S.A. de C.V.

In a 1998 contract, Grupo Radio Centro announced the transfer of XEJP-AM 1320 (now XENET-AM) and XEFAJ-AM 1560 to José Gutiérrez Vivó, journalist and producer of the Monitor newscasts, then heard on Radio Centro's XERED-AM and XHRED-FM. Infored took over operation of the station in April 2000, changing its name in November to "La Banda 15-60" where it broadcast grupera music. In 2004, the station changed calls again, this time to XEINFO-AM, and the station returned to a news format as "Radio Monitor" when Radio Centro and Monitor parted ways.

From 2006 to 2008, XENET-AM simulcasted XEINFO-AM. However, in June 2007, the legal fighting between Radio Centro and Monitor, which had severely hurt the latter's finances, forced the closure of both 1320 and 1560 AM from June 29 until September 3. Radio Centro was owed more than $100 million.^[4] On April 10, 2008, an attempted sale was made to a creditor, Eduardo Henkel Rojas, but the sale could not be completed because workers of STIRT, Mexico's radio and television labor union, went on strike. Unlike XENET, which remained on-air until May 23, 2008 when the STIRT, whose members were angry about unpaid wages,^[4] raised its red and black flags at Radio Monitor, XEINFO suspended its programming on the day of the attempted sale.

On March 19, 2011, XEINFO returned to the air with regional Mexican music. However, there are no commercials or branding, not even airing government or electoral spots, with the station only known by its call letters and frequency. The station's sparse identifications mention Grupo Radio Centro's control of the station but such has never been publicly confirmed or acknowledged by the company, nor is it mentioned on its website.
