KKUU is a commercial radio station in Indio, California, broadcasting to the Palm Springs, California, area on 92.7 FM.
KKUU airs a Rhythmic Top 40 (CHR) music format branded as "U 92.7" since March 1998.
U92.7 KKUU Palm Springs has aired 5 different programming formats since the sign on date in 1984. The first call signs KECY-FM (Country-western) under ownership of KECY-TV and later KCMJ-FM "Classy 92" (Light rock, 1980's Pop hits) under the affiliation of CBS Radio. KKUU aired a classic hits format branded as "Arrow 92.7" previous to the current programming format.
KKUU gets little competition in the Palm Springs area (Coachella Valley). The only other station that gives some competition to KKUU is 100.5 KPSI-FM (aka Mix 100.5), but not much because 100.5 KPSI-FM uses a hot adult contemporary music format which only partly competes with KKUU's Rhythmic Top 40 (CHR) music format. KKUU also gets competition from KRCK another Top 40 (CHR) format radio station. KRCK is commercial free, making it a competent competitor but still not coming close to KKUU's super star line weekdays with Big Boy in the morning from 6am to 10am,Antdog 10am to 2pm,Ron T 2pm to 6pm and Nina Cruz 6pm to 10p.KKUU is the only active radio station in the market and is the high rated English speaking station in the desert.
