XHEMIA-FM is a radio station on 90.3 FM in San Pedro Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, in the Guadalajara metropolitan area. It is owned by Grupo ACIR.
History
XHEMIA received its concession as a Chapala-based station, XEWI. It received its concession in 1963 but was on the air by 1959. XEWI was owned by Luis Garcia Talavera and broadcast as a daytimer with 1,000 watts on 860 kHz. Several years later, it was sold to Radio Promotora de Jalisco, and beginning in the late 1960s, it was a Grupo ACIR station in Guadalajara and broadcasting on 850, known as XEMIA-AM "Radio Felicidad".
XEMIA became "La Consentida" in 1989. After carrying ACIR's Bonita ranchera format in the early 2000s, it eventually adopted a format primarily of talk programs known as 850 AM.
XEMIA was selected to migrate to FM in 2017 and began transmitting on XHEMIA-FM 90.3 in April 2018. After a transition period, XHEMIA began broadcasting the Radio Disney pop format on the 29th of that month.
