KPPC was a radio station in Pasadena, California, United States, broadcasting on 1240 kHz between 1924 and 1996. Operating as a limited-hours, low-power station for most of its history, it carried primarily Christian radio programming and was originally owned by the Pasadena Presbyterian Church. Toward the end of its existence, it also aired ethnic programs. KPPC also spawned KPPC-FM 106.7, which was an influential free form, progressive rock station in the late 1960s and early 1970s and went on to become KROQ-FM.
KPPC ceased broadcasting in 1996 after Douglas Broadcasting acquired the station to eliminate interference with its KYPA at 1230 kHz.
