KDBI (730 AM) is a radio station in Boise, Idaho. The station is currently owned by Impact Radio Group.
The station was originally KBSU, a jazz format station. However, in 2011, it was sold to Impact Radio Group for $165,000. The station was previously operated by Boise State University. On July 21, 2011, Impact changed the calls to KINF and adopted a conservative-leaning news-talk format. It simulcast the first two hours of America's Morning News with KINF-FM, as well as KINF-FM's entire weekend schedule.
On January 1, 2013, KINF split from its simulcast with KINF-FM and changed their format to sports, with programming from ESPN Radio.
On April 30, 2013, KINF began simulcasting on FM translator K243BM 96.5 FM.
On October 1, 2013, KINF changed their call letters to KNFL.
On February 24, 2017, KNFL began stunting with a loop directing listeners to KQBL-HD2 and FM translator K256CZ 99.1 FM Boise, as the "ESPN Boise" sports format moved to those frequencies. The station changed its call sign to KDBI on March 10, 2017. On June 5, 2017, KDBI ended stunting and began simulcasting regional Mexican-formatted KDBI-FM 106.3.
