History

XEJP took to the air in 1974 as "Radio Joya", with a format of music in Spanish from the 1950s, 60s and 70s. In 1991 the station became known as "Stereo Joya" as part of a general refresh of Radio Centro's FM stations; it now had a format of contemporary and romantic music in Spanish.

In 1993, Mariano Osorio, who had hosted news on XEEST-AM 1440 "Radio Éxitos", moved to XEJP-FM. He would become the station's signature personality, beginning with a morning show that on November 22, 1999 expanded to a seven-hour time slot (from 6:00 am until 1:00 pm), known as Hoy con Mariano. This was the first radio program of such a length in Mexico, and the format would later be used by other GRC stations. XEJP also picked up the En Concierto series of interviews with musical artists, which had previously aired on Radio Centro 1030. In 1996, a nightly program named Esencia de Mujer, hosted by Rocio Brauer, was added. Both En Concierto and Esencia ended their runs in November 2015, and in the same month, Osorio became the station's director and programmer, and since then he is the station's only live presenter, with the rest of the day being merely music without hosts.

In 2012, the station's name was changed to just "Joya 93.7".
