KPSP-CD is a Class A television station affiliated with CBS, serving the Coachella Valley in Southern California, and is based in Cathedral City. It transmits a high-definition signal on UHF channel 38 and a standard definition signal on UHF channel 42.2 from its transmitter located on Edom Hill in Cathedral City. Viewers can also find it on Time Warner Cable channel 2. KPSP-CD is owned by the News-Press & Gazette Company and shares ownership with several other local stations, including ABC affiliate KESQ-TV, Fox affiliate KDFX-CD, low-powered CW affiliate KCWQ-LP/LD, and low-powered Telemundo affiliate KUNA-LP/LD. All five channels operate from the same studio facility located at Melanie Place in Palm Desert. Like many major TV stations in the Coachella Valley, KPSP-CD refers to itself on-air as CBS Local 2, which reflects its cable channel designation rather than its over-the-air channel number.
