History
The permit for XHLAYA was awarded on January 11, 2012, to Gaia FM, A.C., along with additional permits for stations in Colima, Colima (XHOMA-FM), Puerto Vallarta (XHGAI-FM) and Cancún (XHCQR-FM).
In 2015, Gaia FM, A.C. was subsumed into CapitalMedia, which is a commercial radio station owner. The stations kept their format with a name change to Capital Pirata FM. In a 2018 filing with the IFT, Capital declared that it did not directly operate the Gaia FM stations but instead provided them with less than five percent of their broadcast day in news capsules and other material.[3]
