KJPG (1050 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Catholic radio format as a network affiliate of Relevant Radio. Licensed to Frazier Park, California, it serves the Bakersfield metropolitan area. The station is owned by Relevant Radio, Inc., which is based in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

By day, KJPG is powered at 10,000 watts using a directional antenna with a three-tower array. But because 1050 AM is a Mexican clear-channel frequency reserved for XEG in Monterrey, KJPG must sign off at night to avoid interference. The transmitter is off South Wheeler Ridge Road at Legray Road in Wheeler Ridge, California.[4] Programming is heard around the clock on 80-watt FM translator K294DK at 106.7 MHz in Bakersfield.[5]
