KFXM-LP (98.3 FM) was a low-power FM radio station broadcasting oldies from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Licensed to serve Lancaster, California, United States, the station was owned by The Organization for the Preservation & Cultivation of Radio, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. [1] The station went on the air on October 4, 2004, at 96.7 FM and moved to 98.3 FM on March 1, 2017. KFXM-LP used the Channel 98 jingles of former (1958-68) Los Angeles top 40 station KFWB. The original KFXM (now KTIE) was a top 40 station at 590 kHz on the AM band in the Inland Empire from 1959 to 1985.

In mid-September 2022, KFXM-LP experienced issues with their transmitter and their operating software and began playing a loop of songs by Paul Anka, Anne Murray, and the Bee Gees. In early October, KFXM-LP resumed normal broadcasting. Many 1980s-1990s songs were added to their playlist. On October 5, KFXM-LP went off the air. The station's request line and business phone numbers were disconnected. On April 24, 2023, the KFXM-LP Facebook page announced the death of Chris Compton, the owner of KFXM-LP.
