Rules and Regulations
Specific Rules and Regulations for On-Air Conduct
In order to participate in KBBF-FM on-air operations, a volunteer must have successfully completed studio training, and have received the approval of the KBBF-FM Program Director and the Radio Programming Committee.
To become an on-air volunteer, he/she is required to be knowledgeable about, and to comply with all FCC rules and regulations that apply to KBBF-FM. When on the air, volunteers must comply with all FCC rules and regulations and KBBF-FM policies described in the handbook, including all updates.
The KBBF-FM policy on obscenity and indecency adheres and strictly forbids the possession and/or use of any illegal substance on the premises of KBBF-FM and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages by the on-air volunteers in the studio, offices or during their shift. Persons who violate any part of this policy will be subject to dismissal.
Because KBBF-FM is a non-commercial radio station, it is not permitted to carry commercial advertising. On-air volunteers are permitted to promote non-profit events, but may not mention prices unless ALL of the proceeds of the event or sales of products go to KBBF-FM.
All volunteers are required to abide by FCC and KBBF-FM rules for conduct. Any divergence from the rules is grounds for immediate dismissal.
Volunteers are encouraged to assist with fundraising efforts by identifying potential business supporters of KBBF-FM.
Political Editorials
Because of KBBF-FM's non-profit status, it is governed by Internal Revenue Services regulations that limit partisan political activity. Therefore, it is the policy of KBBF-FM not to endorse candidates for political office or specific legislation. On-air volunteers must refrain from any form of endorsement.
Housekeeping
Volunteers are expected to clean up (including the bathroom), to place litter in the proper bins, and to return equipment and materials where they belong. This is KBBF 89.1 FM.

KBBF-FM accepts underwriting support mainly from businesses and supporters located throughout the listening area.
