XHECPQ-FM is a radio station on 102.1 FM in Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Quintana Roo. It is known as La Estrella Maya Que Habla and owned by Sebastián Uc Yam, the ex-mayor of Felipe Carrillo Puerto.

It is relayed on two permit stations also owned by Uc Yam: XHRTO-FM 100.5, also in Felipe Carrillo Puerto, and XHYAM-FM 88.1, licensed to José María Morelos.[2]

History

XECPQ-AM 1460 received its concession on October 25, 1985. The 1 kW daytimer later moved to 720 kHz by 2000, and then to FM in 2012. XHRTO was permitted on March 22, 2000 and originally operated as a "combo" FM for XECPQ. XHYAM joined the family in 2013 but took more than two years to get to air.

In October 2013, a grenade attack forced XHECPQ-XHRTO off air.[3] The stations were destroyed and later rebuilt.

In 2013, the station was being operated by the Navarro brothers from Chetumal.[4]

In November 2014, La Estrella Maya Que Habla ceased carriage of the Primera Edición morning newscast from MVS Radio, featuring Carmen Aristegui, five months before MVS removed Aristegui from the program.[5]
