KUNA-LD (channel 15) is a low-power television station licensed to Indio, California, United States, serving the Coachella Valley as an affiliate of the Spanish-language network Telemundo. It is owned by the News-Press & Gazette Company alongside Palm Springs–licensed ABC affiliate KESQ-TV (channel 42), Cathedral City–licensed Class A CBS affiliate KPSP-CD (channel 38), Class A Fox affiliate KDFX-CD (channel 33.2, licensed to both Indio and Palm Springs), Palm Springs–licensed CW affiliate KCWQ-LD (channel 2), and independent station KYAV-LD (channel 12). The six stations share studios on Dunham Way in Thousand Palms; KUNA-LD's transmitter is located in the Indio Hills.

In addition to its own digital signal, the station is simulcast in high definition on KPSP's second digital subchannel, and in standard definition on KESQ's eighth digital subchannel. Both KPSP and KESQ transmit from Edom Hill northeast of Cathedral City and I-10.
