KWED

KWED (1580 AM) is a radio station in Seguin, Texas broadcasting a full service country music format.

But because 1580 AM is a Canadian clear-channel frequency, KWED powers down to 300 watts at night to protect CKDO in Oshawa, Ontario.

On June 27, 1946, KWED's initial construction permit was granted to Seguin resident Weldon Lawson.

However, KWED was granted a license for 1580 as a daytime-only station prior to sign-on; this was necessary as 1580 was, and still is, a Canadian clear-channel frequency.

That same year, KWED received an initial construction permit for a new FM station that would broadcast on 105.3 MHz.

The school board stated that the purchase of the station would provide learning opportunities to students interested in broadcasting.
