Radio station puts on ‘porn’

KFYE-FM hasn’t budged from the Fresno-area radio dial, but it’s about as far as you can get from the Christian music, sermons and Bible stories it was broadcasting until about a week ago.

Now it calls itself “Porn Radio” -- “all sex radio, all the time,” with a suggestion that people under 21 not listen.

Songs with little in common except suggestive titles and lyrics fill the playlist, including “Why Don’t We Do It in the Road” by the Beatles, “Sexual Healing” by Marvin Gaye and “Nasty” by Janet Jackson. Tamer songs are heated up by adding recorded moans and groans.

The station tries not to cross the line, said the new owner, Jerry Clifton. In an interview with the Fresno Bee, he declined to say whether he plans to eventually switch to a more traditional format.
