KUFO is a commercial broadcast radio station in the Portland, Oregon area. It broadcasts rock and heavy metal at 101.1 FM. Its transmitter is located on Portland's west hills; the studio is located in downtown Portland.

The station features the Adam Carolla show as its morning show and boasts several popular local shows. Portland was one of the cities where Howard Stern was syndicated, and when he left to Sirius Satellite Radio, Adam Carolla was picked up as a replacement. Carolla is best known for his involvement on Comedy Central's The Man Show, and his role as co-host of Loveline with Dr. Drew.

Bozyk came to Portland after running smaller stations in the midwest. At the heart of his mid-day show is "Rock and Roll High School," a segment where Bozyk breaks format and plays rock music of all kinds and stripes, including themed days like "Butt-Rock Friday" and cover tunes on Wednesday.

In 2005, radio personality Marconi returned to Portland radio after being fired from 94.7 KNRK two years earlier after joking on-air about the beheading of Nick Berg. He is joined by local Stand Up Comics Kristine Levine and Big Jim Willig, and the show puts an emphasis on spotlighting up-and-coming comedians and several local bands.

Cort and Fatboy came about after Fatboy won a contest to be a producer of "The Cort and Boomer Show." When the show was moved to a later timeslot, the show changed to its current lineup. Cort and Fatboy are known mostly for their radio serial "George W. Bush, Boy President," their laid-back celebrity interviews, and their series of monthly midnight movies.

Tim Savage, host of "The Tim Savage Experience" came to Portland after running a rock station in Florida. Savage also hosts "The Timnasium," a 2 hour talk show on sister station AM 970, Solid State Radio, the "Amateur Hour" where a listener is given control of the station for an hour, and also enjoyed a stint as the announcer for the Portland LumberJax, a professional lacrosse team.
