[2] Because 680 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A KNBR San Francisco, to avoid interference, KBRD can only broadcast from sunrise to sunset.

Morrow ran both KBRD and his FM radio station from his living room.

Although officially described as a "nostalgia" station, KBRD plays an eclectic mixture of jazz, rock, swing, country, dixieland, ragtime, zydeco, western swing, novelty and other music, much of which is not available on commercial radio stations.

A typical hour broadcast on KBRD might contain music by Artie Shaw, Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party, Bessie Smith, Boots Randolph, the Clicquot Club Eskimos, Captain Stubby and the Buccaneers, Bing Crosby, the Harmonicats, Sheb Wooley, Marty Robbins, Jelly Roll Morton, Nat King Cole, the Korn Kobblers, George Formby, Nana Mouskouri, Perry Como, Merle Travis, Louis Armstrong and the Hoosier Hot Shots.
