KUNA-LP, virtual and UHF digital channel 15, is a low-power Telemundo-affiliated television station licensed to Indio, California, United States, serving Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley. Owned by the St. Joseph, Missouri–based News-Press & Gazette Company, it is a sister station to Palm Springs–licensed ABC affiliate KESQ-TV (channel 42), Cathedral City–licensed Class A CBS affiliate KPSP-CD (channel 38), Class A Fox affiliate KDFX-CD (channel 33.2, licensed to both Indio and Palm Springs), and Palm Springs–licensed CW affiliate KCWQ-LD (channel 2). The stations share studios on Dunham Way in Thousand Palms, while KUNA-LP's transmitter is located in the Indio Hills.
