KSIQ (96.1 FM, "Q96") is a commercial Class B radio station located in Brawley, California, broadcasting to the Imperial Valley, California area at 50,000 Watts. KSIQ airs a Top 40 music format programed by Operations Manager/Program Director Toby Salgado and is branded as "The Valley's Q96". KSIQ is also available in Yuma, Arizona, the Blythe, California area and depending on atmospheric conditions, the eastern ends of the Coachella Valley (primarily the city of Indio, California) could receive KSIQ.

First called 'SI-96' in the early 1980's (pronounced: SEE-96) which used the middle letters of its call name KSIQ. 'SI' stood for the Spanish word 'YES' as in 'YES-96', due to the huge population of Hispanics being located close to the US-Mexico border. In 1983 this changed to the simpler 'Q-96', which used the last letter of its call letters KSIQ. This gave the station a better name to represent what it is; Imperial Valley's Top-40 radio station. KSIQ is a popular FM station in Mexicali, Baja California of Mexico.
