95.5 KLAQ is a commercial rock station licensed to El Paso, Texas, serving the wider El Paso–Las Cruces radio market and the surrounding Borderland. Broadcasting on 95.5 FM, KLAQ has been associated with rock radio in El Paso for decades and continues to identify itself as 'El Paso's Best Rock'. The station is owned by Townsquare Media, with the FCC licence held by Townsquare Media of El Paso, Inc.

KLAQ's music mix brings together current mainstream and hard rock with established favourites from bands and artists that have shaped modern rock radio. Its recent playlists regularly move between newer releases and catalogue tracks from acts such as Metallica, Alice in Chains, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Shinedown, Green Day, Guns N' Roses and other major rock names. The result is broader than a purely new-rock format without becoming a conventional classic-rock station.

Local programming remains an important part of KLAQ. The Buzz Adams Morning Show provides a live El Paso-based weekday breakfast programme, while Kevin Vargas handles weekday middays. KLAQ also gives new and regional rock a dedicated outlet through Daniel Paulus' Q Connected on Sunday evenings. Alongside the main 95.5 service, KLAQ operates the Q2 digital side channel on HD2, providing a separate classic-rock choice for listeners with HD Radio.

Notable shows & presenters are:

• Buzz Adams, Joanna Barba & Nico: The Buzz Adams Morning Show airs weekdays from 5am to 10am Mountain Time. The live and local El Paso morning show mixes comedy and conversation with weird news, sport, movies, television, pop culture, politics and local Borderland topics.
• Kevin Vargas: Kevin Vargas hosts KLAQ's weekday midday show from 10am to 2pm Mountain Time, continuing the station's rock format through the working day. Vargas is also KLAQ's current Brand Manager.
