Neo 101.3 HD3 streams a Top 40 mix of contemporary pop, EDM, and electronica in English and Spanish out of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, riding on a frequency that has been on the air in the city longer than almost any other.
Los Mochis's First FM Station
The 101.3 frequency traces back to July 1, 1984, when XHMSL-FM signed on as the first FM station in Los Mochis, launched by Sandra Luz Pérez Muñoz of the family that controlled Radiosistema del Noroeste, according to Wikipedia. The station ran for three decades under that family's ownership before a split in 2015 sent it to a new operator, Luz Network, reshaping how the frequency would be used going forward.
One Signal, Three Formats
Mexico's Federal Telecommunications Institute authorized HD2 and HD3 digital subchannels for the station on June 6, 2018, letting Luz Network stack multiple formats onto the same 101.3 signal. The main HD1 carries the Stereo Uno pop and news format, HD2 runs a Vintage stream of English classics from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, and HD3, rebranded over time before settling on the Neo name, took on the job of playing current Top 40 hits in both English and Spanish rather than older catalog music.
Why Tune In
Neo 101.3 HD3 gives Los Mochis a current pop and EDM stream layered onto a frequency with more than four decades of local broadcast history behind it. For listeners who want today's chart hits without switching away from the city's original FM dial, it delivers exactly that.
