KKUU (92.7 FM) is a commercial radio station in Indio, California, broadcasting to the Palm Springs, California, area. KKUU airs a rhythmic top 40 (CHR) music format branded as "U 92.7".

KKUU has aired five different programming formats since signing on in 1984. The station first signed on airing a Country format as KECY-FM, and was a sister station to KECY-TV. Later, KECY-FM changed call letters to KCMJ-FM and flipped to a Hot AC format as "KC92.7 FM". Later, the station shifted to soft AC as "Classy 92", which would later shift to All-80s Hits under the affiliation of CBS Radio. For a brief time in February 1994, the station was branded as "Sunny 92.7". KCMJ-FM aired a classic hits format branded as "Arrow 92.7" prior to flipping to the current rhythmic format as KKUU in May 1998. KKUU has played hits outside the rhythmic contemporary structure, such as Not Over You by Gavin DeGraw, but is a Mediabase rhythmic contemporary reporter while it also reports to the Nielsen BDS rhythmic contemporary indicator panel.

Former personalities include Jimmy Kimmel, Kevin Koske, and Mike Bell. It is a radio affiliate for the Los Angeles Rams.
