XEDW was awarded its concession on July 1, 1936. The 20-year concession was made to Héctor Silva Canto. The station broadcast on 1150 kHz until moving to 1260 with the adoption of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement on March 29, 1941, where it operated with 250 watts. The concession expired on June 30, 1956, without being renewed. On September 5 , 1969, XEDW was visited by Víctor Hernández Castillo, a federal inspector from the Directorate General of Telecommunications, and ordered closed. The person who presented himself as the operator of the station, Daniel Schacht Pérez, replied one day late to a letter asking him to show cause why the station should not be permanently closed. (Schacht owned XEKM-AM radio in the same city.)
