History

XETNT-AM 650 received its concession on November 24, 1967, immediately beginning broadcasting, with a formal inauguration on December 6.{{cite news|work=El Debate|title=Mi ciudad hace 50 y 25 años|url=https://www.debate.com.mx/opinion/Mi-ciudad-hace-50-y-25-anos-20171205-0153.html|date=5 December 2017|access-date=7 December 2017}} The 500-watt daytimer was owned by Óscar Pérez Escobosa but operated by Roque Chávez; it was transferred to Radio 65, S.A., in August 1985. In the 1990s, XETNT raised its power to 5 kW day and 1 kW night.

XETNT migrated to FM in 2011 as XHTNT-FM 106.5. As part of the 2017 renewal of XHTNT's concession, the station was required to move to 100.5 MHz in order to clear 106-108 MHz as much as possible for community and indigenous radio stations.[http://www.ift.org.mx/sites/default/files/conocenos/pleno/sesiones/acuerdoliga/pift170517260canx.pdf Renewal of concession and frequency change] The frequency change took place on October 2, 2018.

Radio 65 is one of three talk-formatted stations owned by Grupo Chávez Radio in Sinaloa: the others are XHJL-FM in Guamúchil and XHGS-FM in Guasave.
