It received its social use concession in May 2015 and was among the first stations to ever receive such a concession. The station had been operating prior to then without a concession.[3] Its primary audience is the town of Tayoltita, a mining town sustained by the San Dimas gold and silver mine of Primero Empresa Minera, which was acquired in 2018 by First Majestic Silver;[4] XHPEM represents the community's only mass media.[5] The station was formally relaunched in late 2019 as Radio Plata from a new cultural center in Tayoltita supported by First Majestic.[6]
Until the authorization of XHPINO-FM with 4 watts in 2018, XHPEM-FM was Mexico's least powerful radio station.
