KVMI (1270 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Tulare, California, and serving the Tulare-Visalia area of Central California. The station is currently owned by Momentum Broadcasting, LP, and it broadcasts a soft adult contemporary radio format, switching to Christmas music for part of November and December.

By day, KVMI transmits with 5,000 watts non-directional, but to avoid interference with other stations on 1270 AM, at night KVMI reduces power to 1,000 watts and uses a directional antenna. Programming is also heard on two FM translators: 97.5 K248BX in Visalia and 98.5 K253CI in Exeter.[https://radio-locator.com/info/KVMI-AM?loc=36.32410%2C-119.30735&locn=Visalia%2C%20California Radio-Locator.com/KVMI]
