History
En Neza Radio has been operating in some or other form since 1996, with the goal of improving Neza's poor image in the media.
In 2012, Voces Urbanas applied to
Cofetel for a radio station permit; it was the second request the group had made, after an unfruitful 2004 application to the
Secretariat of Communications and Transportation. In 2015, their application was denied by the
Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT), which had replaced Cofetel. Voces Urbanas filed an ''
amparo'' lawsuit against the IFT, which ended with a favorable ruling for the station. The IFT awarded the station's concession in July 2017, and XHNEZ-FM held its official inauguration on April 28, 2018.
XHNEZ operates with a low power and coexists on the 97.3 frequency with another community station in the State of Mexico,
