KMMA (97.1 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Green Valley, Arizona and serving the Tucson metropolitan area. It carries a Spanish Contemporary radio format and is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. The studios are on North Oracle Road.

KMMA has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 25,000 watts. The transmitter is on Pima Mine Ranch Road, southeast of Tucson, near the Pima County Fairgrounds.[2] Because of the transmitter location, the station is hard to pick up in most northern suburbs of Tucson, but is easy to receive in central and southern communities. KMMA broadcasts using HD Radio technology. Its HD2 digital subchannel formerly carries the iHeartRadio Love Songs format. The HD2 subchannel has since been turned off.
