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), the flagship station of Pacific Tigers (College Basketball) and gets the bulk of its programming from ESPN Radio. It is also a member of the San Francisco 49ers San Jose Sharks Golden State Warriors California Golden Bears radio networks.

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 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.

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.

The current owner is Citadel Broadcasting; also see below.
