KXSS (96.9 FM, "96.9 KISS-FM") is a Top 40 radio station serving the Amarillo, Texas market. The frequency was, until recently, home to a country music format as "96.9 KMML," under the ownership of Clear Channel Communications, however it was one of close to 450 radio stations sold by Clear Channel in the process of privatization, beginning in 2007^[2]. KXSS, along with its sister stations KPRF-FM, KATP-FM, KMXJ-FM, and KIXZ-AM, was acquired along with approximately fifty other stations for a total price of $139M^[3]. It is now owned by Gap Broadcasting^[4].

The station primarily competes with Cumulus Media's KQIZ in the Top 40 format. Coincidentally, both stations transmit from the same tower site^[5], which is highly unusual.

The KMML call sign has been reissued to a radio station in Cimarron, Kansas.^[6]
