KDES-FM (98.5 MHz) is a radio station in the Palm Springs area and the Coachella Valley of Southern California.
In the 2000s, KDES-FM's signal covers a 40-mile (64 km) radius area, from Beaumont to the Morongo Basin to the Imperial Valley.
In January 2010, KDES-FM announced plans to move its oldies format to KWXY-FM's former frequency.
At the same time, the station would incorporate 1980s hits into their playlist after sister-station KPSI-FM withdrew from playing 80s music.
On September 9, 2015, shortly after being sold to Alpha Media, KDES-FM began simulcasting KDGL, with a change to Country as "98.5 The Bull" to follow the next day, launching with the usual 10,000 songs in a row, with the first song being "This Is How We Roll" by Florida-Georgia Line.
