XEAM (branded as La Mandona) is a Spanish-language AM radio station that serves the Brownsville, Texas (USA) / Matamoros, Tamaulipas (Mexico) border area.

History

XEAM began life in 1934 on 730 kHz in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas. It was owned by Manuel L. Salinas and broadcast with a power of 7,500 watts.

In the 1960s, XEAM moved to Matamoros under the concessionaire Radiodifusoras Unidas Mexicanas de Matamoros, S.A., an affiliate of the RUMSA network. It also cut its power to current levels.
