KDFO (98.5 FM, "98-5 The Fox") is a commercial radio station broadcasting a classic rock format.
It has studios on Mohawk Street near the Kern River and is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc.[3] Weekdays begin with the syndicated Bob and Tom Show from Indianapolis.
At that point, KDNO was owned by a California Corporation, Tape Networks Inc., founded by Palmquist when he was a broadcast consultant in the Los Angeles area.
Later, Newell sold the station to Tape Networks, Inc. Palmquist raised the purchase price by soliciting donations from KDNO listeners.
The station, however, was devoted to ministry rather than revenue, so to supplement his income Palmquist purchased the Pixley Enterprise Newspaper and later the Terra Bella News.
He merged them to form the "Enterprise News," and the newspaper became commercially successful, thus helping to support the radio ministry.
After two unsuccessful efforts to sell the newspaper, Palmquist closed that business in 1993 to concentrate on improving the radio station's music and Bible teaching ministry.
