XEG-AM

XEG-AM (1050 kHz) is a Class A clear channel radio station in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico.

In 1950, the advertising time on XEG came under the control of Harold Schwartz of Chicago who also came to represent co-owned XERB 1090 AM in Tijuana/Rosarito, Baja California, the station made famous in the movie American Graffiti.

[citation needed] During the mid- and late 1970s, XEG (then at 150 kW power, directional north) was known for its nighttime English-language R&B/Soul music shows.

For 4–6 hours per night, taped transcriptions from KGFJ (Los Angeles) disc jockeys made specifically for XEG were audible throughout much of the Southern, Southwestern and Midwestern U.S.

Depending on atmospheric conditions, multiple skips can result in acceptable night time AM reception as far north as Canada.
