XET went on the air in March 1930 as Monterrey's second radio station after [[XEH-AM|XEH]]. It was founded by [[Emilio Azcárraga Vidaurreta]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=de la G |first=Enrique G. de la |date=December 4, 2011 |title=XELA: Crónica de una muerte |url=https://letraslibres.com/revista-mexico/xela-cronica-de-una-muerte/ |access-date=2022-04-11 |website=Letras Libres |language=es-MX}}</ref> and eventually became a [[border blaster]] targeting the United States in English with a 50,000 watt signal. Studios were located at Galeana and Hidalgo streets. In the 2000s, it reduced its power to 20,000 watts. Azcárraga later sold the station to Cervecería Cuauhtémoc.

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]].<ref name="fowler">{{cite book | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=DdHi3dbIJRQC | title = Border Radio: Quacks, Yodelers, Pitchmen, Psychics and Other Amazing Broadcasters of the American Airwaves | first1 = Gene | last1 = Fowler | first2 = Bill | last2 = Crawford | edition = Revised | publisher = [[University of Texas Press]] | location = Austin, Texas | year = 2002 | isbn = 0-292-72538-8 | page = 203 }}</ref>
