[edit] History

When the Quad Cities' allocation for 106.5 FM first signed on-the-air in 1966, it was home to the market's first FM country music station. The station was known as KWNT-FM, and was simply the FM repeater for KWNT's AM signal (at 1580 kHz).

The station continued its country format until the summer 1973, when 106.5 FM was switched to an easy listening/adult contemporary format as KRVR-FM; KWNT-AM continued with the country format for several more years. Fondly known to locals under its slogan "K-River," KRVR continued on with few changes until 1995, when it switched to its current format.

KCQQ features the nationaly syndicated "The Bob & Tom Show."
