KBIF (900 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a World Ethnic format to the Fresno, California, USA area. The station is currently owned by Cordell Overgaard, through licensee Overgaard Broadcasting LLC.[2]

KBIF began serving the Central San Joaquin Valley in 1947 and by the early 1980s was broadcasting 24 hours a day. The Big Band format in the 1950s changed to a Christian format in the 1960s, which continues today. KBIF added foreign language programming, including Spanish, Punjabi and Japanese, in the mid-1980s and later added Hmong, Lao, Korean and Vietnamese.
