KESP 970AM is an all-sports radio station in Modesto, California, USA. The station serves Modesto, Stockton, Lodi, and surrounding communities of the northern San Joaquin Valley.

KESP is the flagship station of the Modesto Nuts of the California League (baseball), and the flagship station of Pacific Tigers college basketball team. It is also a member of the San Francisco 49ers, San Jose Sharks, Golden State Warriors, and California Golden Bears radio networks. Most of its daily programming, as the call letters imply, comes from ESPN Radio.

KESP features a morning news program, Modesto's Morning News, from 5-9am, and two local sports talk programs: "The Jim" with host Jim L. Wells weekday afternoons from 1-4pm PT, and "Mike and the Mouth" hosted by Mike Benton and a co-host known only as "The Mouth."

KESP gained its current call sign, and format, in the early 2000s. Before that, it was news/talk station KHYV. The station was owned by the McClatchy family, as in McClatchy Newspapers, which publishes the "Modesto Bee". (The McClatchy company has since sold the station to Citadel Broadcasting.)

In a sports-related note, Kevin McClatchy, a member of the publishing family, owned the Pittsburgh Pirates until the team was sold to Robert Nutting in 2007.
