It is owned by The South Texas Public Broadcasting System, which also owns PBS station KEDT-TV. KEDT-FM airs news programming from NPR in morning and afternoon drive time and several hours on weekends.

KEDT-FM is a Class C1 station. It has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 100,000 watts, the maximum for most stations. The transmitter is in Petronila, southwest of Corpus Christi.^[2] KEDT-FM broadcasts using HD Radio technology. Its HD2 subchannel carries a mostly news-talk format of spoken word shows from NPR, the Public Radio Exchange and the BBC World Service.

History

The station signed on the air on March 2, 1982.^[3] Its original call sign was KKED-FM. The studios were on South Padre Island Drive. Then, as now, it aired some news programs from NPR with classical and other genres of music heard the rest of the day.

In 1993, it changed its callsign to KEDT-FM to match that of sister station KEDT channel 16. Also in 1993, it began simulcasting on 90.7 KVRT to provide Victoria-area listeners with public radio programming. There have also been talks to launch a simulcast station in the McAllen - Brownsville area, which has no NPR affiliate, but those plans have not been put into place.
