The first station to occupy 1340 kHz in Fresno was KFRE (cf. White's Radio Log, May 1942) which later took over 940 kHz from KTKC, Visalia.

KCBL serves as the local affiliate for Fox Sports Radio and NBC Sports Radio. In 2021, the Fresno State Bulldogs announced that KCBL would become the new flagship of Fresno State athletics.[3]
