XHZS-FM is a radio station in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Mexico. Broadcasting on 100.3 FM from a transmitter on Cerro El Caracol, XHZS is owned and operated by Luz Network as Stereo Uno with a pop format.

History

XHZS received its concession on August 25, 1987.

The station has had various formats, including the Estereo Vida brand until mid-2000s, flipping to Planeta pop format. In early 2012, the station became the Los 40 Principales franchise format and in 2015, it became @FM pop brand.

In May 2016, XHZS flipped from Radiorama to MegaRadio affiliation and consequently changed names to Switch, as the former is a Radiorama-specific brand.[3] The station reversed the change in June 2017.

On March 30, 2020, Luz Network assumed ownership and operation of the station and began programming its Stereo Uno pop format; this gives Luz Network a presence in all three major Sinaloa cities, as it owns stations in Los Mochis and Navolato–Culiacán. The Federal Telecommunications Institute approved XHZS-FM to begin broadcasting in HD Radio in 2022.[4]
