KPAT (95.7 FM, "95.7 The Beat") is a commercial radio station that is licensed to Orcutt, California, United States and serves the Santa Maria—Lompoc area.
The station is owned by American General Media and broadcasts a rhythmic contemporary format.
(Previously, the KPAT call letters belonged to a station in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, now known as KKRC-FM, from 1973 to 1994.)
In November, Radio Representatives Inc., based in Los Osos, California, sold KPAT to American General Media for $900,000.
On January 18, 2010, at 11:30 a.m., high winds in the Santa Maria area triggered a power outage that knocked KPAT off the air.
