KGFM (101.5 FM) is a radio station licensed to Bakersfield, California, USA. The station is owned by Agm California.[1] The station airs a Soft Adult Contemporary format.

[edit] History

KGFM was originally a beautiful music/easy listening station until the summer of 1992, when they abandoned the format due to low revenue as a result of attracting older listeners. They went adult contemporary and have mostly stayed in the format although in 2005 a decision was made to emphasize gold product.

In 2007, the station went to an Soft Adult Hits format. The station now plays music from 1970's through today's hits. During the summer, it is an oldies format. It plays oldies in the summer, in hopes of capturing the younger end of the baby boomer demographic.
