KPST-FM (103.5 FM) is a radio station licensed to Coachella, California and serving the Coachella Valley area. Owned by Entravision Communications, it airs a Regional Mexican format branded as "La Tricolor 103.5". The station's studios and sales offices are located in Palm Desert, while the transmitter is located in a mountain range east of Mecca, and within proximity to Interstate 10.[1] The station is unusual in having its programming relayed onto a digital television station, using PSIP channel 41.6 on KVER-CD to distribute its programming instead of having an HD Radio transmitter.

History

The station is one of the newest full power stations to the area, having received a construction permit in early 2012. It was assigned the KPST-FM call letters on May 15, 2012. While it was originally due to sign on in 2015, it received its broadcast license ahead of schedule on June 1, 2012, signing on that same day.[2] The station has kept the same call letters, format and branding throughout its existence. On Monday March 29 2021, Entravision has announced that it will launch the bilingual rhythmic fuego format in two additional markets including Las Vegas, and Palm Springs and so the station will drop the mexican la tricolor format and will flip to the format as Fuego 103.5. The station has the same and identical branding and frequency as KHHM in Sacramento.
