KBFP (800 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a comedy format via the "Today's Comedy" satellite feed and is licensed to Bakersfield, California, United States, it serves inland central California. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. Its studios are located in southwest Bakersfield, and its transmitter is located south of downtown Bakersfield.

In August 2014 KBFP switched from the 24/7 Comedy satellite feed to the "Today's Comedy" feed after the 24/7 Comedy format ceased operations.

800 AM is a Mexican clear-channel frequency. For that reason, KBFP must reduce power at night from 1,000 watts to 440 watts to avoid interfering with Class A XEROK-AM Ciudad Juarez. KBFP uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array.[3]
