In late 2007 Óscar Obregón encountered financial problems and sold the station to Grupo Radio Digital, which rebranded it as ''La Nueva Pop'' airing a pop format. In 2008, the format was changed again, to talk radio.
On January 31, 2010, at 23:59 CST, Radio Chapultepec ceased broadcasting to start as ''La Mejor AM'' when Grupo Radio Digital and MVS entered into a joint alliance; the new station broadcast a Regional Mexican format previously heard on the latter's
XHMVS-FM 102.5. However, the alliance between GRD and MVS ended on August 31, 2012, and the station returned as Radio Chapultepec.
