XEG-AM is an radio station on clear-channel frequency 1050 kHz in the state of Nuevo León, Mexico.[1] It is licensed for Guadalupe, Nuevo León and brands itself as serving Monterrey. Known for its border blaster status in the 1950s,[citation needed] it now uses the name La Ranchera de Monterrey and broadcasts ranchera music.[2]
[edit] History
In 1950 the advertising time on XEG came under the control of Harold Schwartz of Chicago who also came to represent XERB-AM near Tijuana/Rosarito, Baja California, the station made famous in the movie American Graffiti.[citation needed]
