The Wrap
Speaking of tuning in: KWED-AM 1580 has been on the air since September of 1948 and has been locally owned since sign-on. The country station runs 24/7, and its daytime signal reaches all or parts of 6 Texas counties and portions of the San Antonio metro area. Not bad for 1,000 watts of daytime power. Turn the dial and let the twang roll.
