KUBB (96.3 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Mariposa, California, the station serves the Merced area of California's Central Valley. The station is owned by the Stephens Media Group, through licensee SMG-Merced, LLC.[2] The station carries the syndicated morning drive time show Big D and Bubba.

KUBB's studios and offices are in Merced. The transmitter is off North Mount Bullion Hill Road in Mount Bullion.[3] KUBB has an effective radiated power of only 1,900 watts, but with its tower at 629 meters (2064 feet) in height above average terrain (HAAT), its signal covers a good part of the Central Valley, heard in Fresno and Modesto with a good radio.
