KESS, branded as "La Que Buena", is a Latin-oriented radio station transmitting on 107.9 FM, serving the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex in Texas. The station is licensed in Lewisville, Texas and it's owned and operated by Univision Radio.

The KESS call letters were first used in DFW in the spring of 1976 when Marcos Rodriguez, Sr. gained control of the station. At that time, KESS was on 93.9 FM; it had been broadcasting in Spanish since 1964. See KLNO.

The current day version of 107.9 was made possible when Marcos Rodriguez (the son) successfully obtained a new class A licensed to Gainesville and also purchased a Class C1 licensed to Corsicana. After Rodriguez sold to Heftel Broadcasting and Mac Tichenor gained control of HBC, Tichenor moved the Corsicana signal south and allowed the Gainesville signal to upgrade and move toward Dallas.
