Contents

In August 2014, KBFP switched from the 24/7 Comedy satellite feed to the "Today's Comedy" feed after the 24/7 Comedy format ceased operations.

On June 13, 2022, KBFP changed their format from comedy to a simulcast of sports-formatted KHTY 970 AM Bakersfield. [3]

800 AM is a Mexican clear-channel frequency. For that reason, KBFP must reduce power at night from 1,000 watts to 440 watts to avoid interfering with Class A XEROK-AM Ciudad Juarez. KBFP uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array. [4]
