XELOVE-AM (640 AM) is a radio station in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico. It is owned by Multimedios Radio and carries its La Lupe variety hits format. The programming on XELOVE-AM is also simulcast on Ciudad Juárez–market FM radio station XHLOVE-FM 104.7, authorized to serve the community of El Porvenir.

By day, XELOVE is powered at 5,000 watts using a directional antenna.^[3] Because AM 640 is an American clear-channel frequency reserved for 50,000-watt, Class A KFI in Los Angeles, XELOVE is a daytimer; it must leave the air between sunset and sunrise to avoid interfering with KFI. XHLOVE-FM is a rimshot broadcasting to Ciudad Juárez from a transmitter site 51 kilometers (32 mi) from the city center.

History

XEJUA-AM received its concession on June 22, 1992. It was owned by Multimedios executive Francisco Antonio González Sánchez and was known as Súper Estelar, Estéreo Recuerdo, and Milenio Radio.

For a time in the mid-2010s, XEJUA was operated by Chihuahua broadcaster Grupo BM Radio with an all-news radio format as BM Noticias and later BM Radio 640. Multimedios began operating the station again in 2017 and first broadcast its La Caliente Regional Mexican format before flipping the station to La Lupe in 2020.

XEJUA-AM changed call signs to XELOVE-AM on May 31, 2023.^[4] On May 11, the IFT had previously authorized the Multimedios-owned station XHCCAL-FM at El Porvenir, obtained in the IFT-8 station auction, to change its call sign to XHLOVE-FM, as well as its technical parameters.^[2] It began broadcasting on September 28, 2024, as a simulcast of XELOVE-AM.
