History

XET went on the air in 1930 as a border blaster targeting the United States in English with a 50,000 watt signal. In the 2000s, it reduced its power to 20,000 watts.

The Carter Family worked at the station in its early years, performing their country music and bluegrass music. As the station could be heard at night in the parts of the United States, XET helped the Carter Family's music became well known. In February 1939, over the air live, Sara Carter dedicated the song I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes to her long-lost boyfriend Coy Bayes. On February 20, 1939, Sara Carter and Coy Bayes married at Brackettville, Texas.[2]
