The station, initially known as "Radio Tropical", finally received its concession on May 12, 1956 and began normal service on June 2 of that year. It operated with 1,000 watts day and 250 night. The station changed its name in the 1970s to "La V de Valles", though the current slogan and name were instituted in 1980.
On May 14, 1994, XECV's tower was blown down again. Soon after the station returned on August 19 of that year, it moved to 600 kHz so it could boost its power to 5 kW day and 1 kW night.
XECV received approval to migrate to FM in February 2011 and began broadcasting on its new frequency on March 20.
On December 18, 2017, the IFT approved the transfer of the XHCV concession from its original holder, Rafael Castro Torres, to René Castro Echeverría.
