'''XHNT-FM''' is the callsign of a radio station in [La Paz](/source/La_Paz%2C_Baja_California_Sur), [Baja California Sur](/source/Baja_California_Sur), [Mexico](/source/Mexico). XHNT broadcasts on [97.5 MHz](/source/97.5_FM) and carries [Radio Fórmula](/source/Radio_F%C3%B3rmula) programming.

The station is also on AM as '''XENT-AM''' [790 kHz](/source/790_AM).

==History of the XENT call sign==
'''XENT-AM''' were the call letters of a [border-blaster](/source/Border_blaster) radio station licensed to [Nuevo Laredo](/source/Nuevo_Laredo), [Tamaulipas](/source/Tamaulipas). It operated nightly from 1933 to 1940 on 1140 kc/s with a power reported from 50&nbsp;kW to 150&nbsp;kW. In 1944–1945, XENT's transmitter was acquired by Alamo Broadcasting for use at KABC in San Antonio, in a contested action.

XENT was the continuation of KTNT ("Know The Naked Truth"), [Norman G. Baker](/source/Norman_G._Baker)'s station in [Muscatine, Iowa](/source/Muscatine%2C_Iowa), [United States](/source/United_States), as was forced off the air in 1931 for excessive self-promotion and want of candor. Baker was a notorious [cancer](/source/cancer) quack, operating clinics in Muscatine and [Eureka Springs, Arkansas](/source/Eureka_Springs%2C_Arkansas), that were heavily promoted over KTNT and then XENT.

==In La Paz==
The XENT callsign returned, this time to Baja California Sur, with the awarding to Radio La Paz, S.A., of a concession for XENT-AM on July 19, 1956. The station was operated by the King family, which would later start [XHK-TV](/source/XHK-TV) channel 10, and was the first radio station in Baja California Sur.

The station was sold to Radio Fórmula in the mid-2000s.
