KONA-FM (105.3 MHz) is a radio station broadcasting a top 40 (CHR) format. Licensed to Kennewick, Washington, United States, the station serves the Tri-Cities area. The station is owned by Townsquare Media and features programming from Compass Media Networks and Premiere Networks.[2]

On June 30, 2022, KONA-FM changed format from hot AC (as "Mix 105.3") to Top 40/CHR as "105.3 Kiss FM" shortly after Townsquare Media completed its acquisition of Cherry Creek Media; the "Kiss FM" format moved from KOLW, which Townsquare was required to divest in the deal.[3]
