KBBO (1390 AM) is a radio station licensed to Yakima, Washington, United States, the station serves the Yakima area. It carries a sports talk format. The station is currently owned by James Ingstad of Fargo, North Dakota.[1][2]

The station's skywave signal was reported in Salt Lake City, Utah in October 2008. An audio ID of the station was recorded.[3]

On May 26, 2010, it was rumored KBBO's parent company New Northwest Broadcasters's stations could possibly be sold in the near future. Principal of Revitalization Partners, Alan Davis says "The stations are on the air; it's business as usual. I can only tell you there appears to be demand for the stations."[4][5] In 2012, the stations were sold to James Ingstad.

On August 29, 2013 KBBO and its talk format moved from 980 AM to 1390 AM, swapping frequencies with classic country-formatted KTCR.

On February 25, 2015 KBBO changed their format to sports, branded as "1390 The Fan".[6]

On Sept. 23, 2015, AllAccess.com reported that Ingstad has asked the Federal Communications Commission to allow the station to go silent due to "transmitter failure."[7]
