XHCW-FM is a radio station on 96.5 FM in Los Mochis, Sinaloa. It is owned by Grupo Radio Centro and is known as La Z with a grupera format.

## History

XECW-AM 1340 received its concession on November 3, 1958. The 1,000-watt station was owned by Luis Pérez Gómez until 1977, when it was acquired by Radio del Comercio Local de la Provincia, S.A. de C.V. The current concessionaire picked up XECW in 1992. 2007 saw XECW move from 1340 to 740 kHz with 5,000 watts day and 1,000 at night.

In 2011, XECW moved to FM as XHCW-FM 96.5.

In May 2016, Grupo Radio México exited Los Mochis, with Radiorama assuming operational control. As a result, all its stations picked up Radiorama formats, with XHCW adopting the Romántica format. The station later changed to La Poderosa before Radio Centro resumed operating the cluster, returning La Z to Los Mochis.
