Anyone in Bakersfield able to see what's currently airing on the former "Forge 103.9" in Bakersfield? I've been told its now "Fire 103.9" and possibly has flipped to Talk.

Their stream is offline so no way to verify programming.
 
Any sense "bilingualness" seems to be gone. Urban hip-hop this evening.on 103.9.

Could Fuego 95.3 (KBHH Kerman-Fresno) be far behind in the change? I can't tell.. On 95.3 I hear KLLY Oildale-Bakersfield,, Energy 95.3.

Check the Forge953.com website for updates.

You sure you weren't getting KLLY Bakersfield, which has been "Energy 95.3" since 2015. KBHH was "Forge" not "Fuego".
 
Yes, 95.3 Kerman ie "Forge", CMG's brand.targeting younger, someiimes bilingual demos. (I did correct my earlier post regarding the KLLY confusion but the comments back reflected my initial V1.0 posting.)
 
Maybe...could be...might be...

KBDS Forged Into Fire - RadioInsight

Chavez Radio Group flipped Bilingual Rhythmic "Forge 103.9" KBDS Taft/Bakersfield CA to Hip Hop "Fire 103.9" earlier this month. The station is very current intensive and running commercial-free. With the change the station has also added Skyview Networks' "Ed Lover Experience" for middays from...

Nothing like a few F*bombs thrown into some rap lyrics... I guess it's legal these days.

I doubt it.

I just did some quick reading, and as of now, the FCC still has indecency and profanity over the air on radio and TV effectively banned, and there's little evidence to suggest that they'll be changing that anytime soon.

Of course, that presumes that anyone would file a complaint with the FCC against the station, which is far from a given for a station in the hip-hop/rap/rhythmic genre.

The FCC doesn't routinely monitor program content for violations unless a specific station is brought to their attention. (And don't overlook the "safe harbor" late night period where the FCC has agreed not to issue a NAV for language.)
