KICA (980 AM) was a radio station broadcasting a farm and agriculture format. Licensed to Clovis, New Mexico, the station served the Clovis-Portales CSA; it could also be heard in the Amarillo metropolitan area during the daytime. The station was owned by Monte Spearman and Gentry Todd Spearman's High Plains Radio Network, through licensee HPRN Networks LLC. [1] Previously the station was "Rocket 980", with an oldies format.

KICA received its first license on July 15, 1932, and had the call sign KVER from November 1959 to September 4, 1962. [2] The Federal Communications Commission cancelled the station’s license on March 12, 2024, because it had been silent since December 31, 2022, more than twelve consecutive months. [3]
