XHRTO-FM is a noncommercial radio station on 100.5 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 co-owned, but currently not commonly operated, with XHECPQ-FM 102.1.

History

XHRTO was permitted on March 22, 2000, and originally operated as a "combo" FM for XECPQ-AM 720. 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.[1] The stations were destroyed and later rebuilt.

In 2013, the station was being operated by the Navarro brothers from Chetumal.[2]

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.[3]

In November 2018, XHECPQ broke from the simulcast with XHRTO and XHYAM and became a separately programmed station under another commercial operator. 102.1 had previously been operated by the Navarro brothers from Chetumal as a commercial station in 2013.[4]
