KINGSBURG, CALIF. ?- KFYE-FM hasn't budged from the Fresno-area 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 younger than 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 change, made after the station was sold this month, was met with several non-sexual groans from some residents.
"It would appear this is another of those promotions that are simply designed to create controversy," longtime Fresno radio personality Ed Beckman told the Fresno Bee.
"This format belongs on Sirius or XM, not on over-the-air."
That reminds me of an old joke. In an English writing class, the teacher was discussing some of the factors that make a best selling novel. She went on to say that a sure fire hit had to have sex, religion, royalty and mystery. She then asked the class to write a short story which had all of those elements.
One genius came up with this gem:
"Goddammit, said the Queen. Pregnant again. I wonder whodunnit?"
Stumble It!
