KMPS (910 kHz) was a commercial AM radio station licensed to Hesperia, California, and broadcast to the Victor Valley area. It was owned by El Dorado Broadcasters and simulcast a Regional Mexican radio format with KXVV (103.1 FM). KMPS's offices and studios were on Hesperia Road in Hesperia.
KMPS was powered at 700 watts by day and 500 watts at night. It used a directional antenna with a four-tower array. The transmitter was near Mesa Linda Street in Oak Hills.
The station went on the air in 1990 as KVVQ, a middle of the road music and talk. Infinity Broadcasting renamed the station KRAK in 2001; it would feature adult standards until 2011. From then until 2019, it was a sports radio station, carrying ESPN Radio until the launch of CBS Sports Radio in 2013; it became KMPS after CBS Radio was acquired by Entercom in 2017. Following El Dorado Broadcasters' acquisition of the station in 2019, KMPS went silent for a year, resumed operations as a KXVV simulcast in 2020, and was closed down in 2024.
