KSFM (102.5 FM) is a commercial radio station that is licensed to Woodland, California and serves the Sacramento metropolitan area. The station is owned by Audacy, Inc. and broadcasts an urban contemporary format. KSFM's studios and offices are located on Lava Ridge Court in Roseville, and its transmitter is in Woodland.

From 2006 to 2010, KSFM's slogan was "Sacramento's New #1 Station for Hip-Hop and R&B".[2] CBS billed KSFM as a rhythmic top 40 station due to its multicultural listenership.[3] In 2010, the station changed its slogan to simply "102-5" with a broader mix of hip-hop, R&B, and rhythmic pop music. In August 2023, KSFM returned to a more urban-leaning rhythmic format with expanding their R&B playlist, increasing regional music from nearby Bay Area and Sacramento artists, drastically reducing pop music from their regular playlist and adding more urban throwbacks. Their current slogan is "Sacramento’s New #1 for Hip-Hop and R&B."[4]
