Not long after XEVT signed on, political turmoil roiled Tabasco. On March 16, 1955, a group attempted to use XEVT to broadcast messages fomenting unrest in the state. When the radio station's staff said no, they attempted to enter by force. One person died, and much of XEVT's new equipment was destroyed. Broadcasts resumed the next month.
The station changed hands and names regularly as time went on. Originally known as "La Voz de Tabasco", it soon became "Radio Fiesta", "Súper Variedades" and even for a time
Stereorey. In 1978, the XEVT concession was transferred to Radio Sureste, S.A. The 1980s saw the station come under the management of Radio S.A. In 1999, it was sold to the Sibilla family (headed by Jesús Antonio Sibilla Zurita, 1922–1989), who relaunched XEVT as a full-service station with news and talk programs.;
