Fresno Bee Radio Log) and licensed to serve Fresno, California, USA, the station is currently owned by iHeartMedia, Inc..[2] The station switched to the current "KCBL" call sign on December 16, 1996.[1] Its studios are located on Shaw Avenue in North Fresno, and the transmitter tower is north of downtown near Fresno City College.
