XETB-AM is a radio station on 1350 AM in Gómez Palacio, Durango. It is owned by Grupo Radio México and known as Radio Laguna.

History

XETB came to air on September 24, 1931, making it the first station in the region. Original authorization was given to begin operations on February 14, 1935, with 125 watts. XETB was then on 1310 kHz and owned by Miguel Guangorena Salas. It originally operated from Torreón, Coahuila and still has its studios there. Amelio G. Zaragoza acquired XETB in 1935 and sold it to Radio Laguna, S.A., in 1947. XETB later moved to 1350 and increased its power to 5,000 watts.

XETB carries a variety of news, talk and music programs. It is the only station in the Comarca Lagunera that did not migrate to FM.
