KXWT (91.3 FM) is a listener-supported public radio licensed to Odessa, Texas, and is owned and operated by Marfa Public Radio. Until 2012, it was owned and operated by Odessa College. It is the National Public Radio member station for Odessa, Midland and the Permian Basin. KXWT now operates at an assigned frequency of 91.3 MHz with an effective radiated power of 20,000 watts. With the purchase of KXWT by Marfa Public Radio, a new transmitter was built in Gardendale to allow the frequency to boost to Andrews, Crane, and other surrounding areas.
The station operated under the branding of West Texas Public Radio until 2018, when its branding was consolidated into Marfa Public Radio.[3] The station is now operated out of Marfa Public Radio's studios in Marfa, but still airs a partially separate schedule from Marfa Public Radio flagship KRTS and its three satellites.[4][5]
