KESQ (AM)

KESQ (1400 AM) was a radio station broadcasting a Spanish music format licensed to Indio, California, United States.

The radio station itself began broadcasting in 1946 under the call letters KREO, then changed to KRCQ in 1976 and again in 1984 when it reverted to Spanish language music as KUNA.

Back to being under KUNA-FM but on the AM frequency, before KJOK (KINI-AM named for an earlier radio station in the California Desert in the 1970s) of Yuma, Arizona increased its power in the 2000s and changed dials, KESQ could be heard in Imperial Valley down to Mexicali on occasion, the Morongo Basin closer to Palm Springs, California and partially in the Inland Empire, California region.

KESQ was formerly rented by a Spanish religious radio network by La Iglesia Alfa Y Omega (the Alpha and Omega church), and briefly played Spanish-language religious music.

KESQ went silent on August 5, 2022, after the owner of the station's transmitter site requested the decommissioning of the tower.
