About KBHR 102.5 FM

This radio station offers diverse programming.
A commercial FM radio station operating an Adult Album Alternative format, branded as "K-BEAR, The Bear is Everywhere." The station's primary signal broadcasts on 93.3 FM from Big Bear City, California, with a translator on 102.5 FM directed toward the Palm Springs area to extend coverage east of the San Bernardino Mountains. KBHR first received its construction permit in 1991, began program testing in 1995, and officially signed on April 11, 1996, maintaining consistent branding throughout its history. It is among the relatively few Adult Album Alternative stations operating in California. The main transmitter runs at 1.3 kilowatts with a directional antenna configuration aimed toward the Victor Valley, a design chosen specifically to prevent co-channel interference with KHTS-FM in El Cajon, which shares the 93.3 MHz frequency further south. The 102.5 translator provides coverage to the Palm Springs corridor, filling the gap left by the directional main signal. The station's programming serves the mountain resort communities of the Big Bear area, with its website functioning as a local news source covering weather events, community announcements, and wildlife conservation news, including coverage of the Big Bear eagle cam operated by Friends of Big Bear Valley. The KBHR call letters share recognition as the fictional call sign of the 570 AM station in Cicely, Alaska, from the CBS television series Northern Exposure, an association that has generated a tribute online radio station at kbhr570.com.
