[edit] History
KQMV, which signed on the air in November 1964 as KFKF-FM (and later became KBES), was well known for two of its most remembered incarnations: Progressive Rock KZAM-FM from April 1975 to July 1983, and Adult Contemporary KLSY (Classy 92.5) from July 1983 to May 2006, even though in February 2002 they would evolve to Adult Top 40 as Mix 92.5, but retained the KLSY calls.
After Mix 92.5 failed to click with listeners, Sandusky threw in the towel on May 1, 2006 at 12 noon by pulling the plug on KLSY to launch the new "MOViN 92.5", giving Seattle its first Adult-targeted Rhythmic format in ten years since KBKS in 1996. The last song on KLSY was Semisonic's Closing Time, while KQMV's first song as "MOViN" was The C+C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)." But unlike the last one, KQMV is featuring a mix of Rhythmic Pop/Dance currents and Old School hits in a Adult Top 40-like presentation and is positioning itself between Rhythmic Top 40 KUBE and non-commercial Dance Top 40 KNHC as it targets 25-44 females.
KQMV added on-air dj's during the Fall of 2006. Monti Carlo, their afternoon jock is the only local female solo dj in the afternoon timeslot in Seattle. Kris "KAZ" Nascimento holds the evening slot. "Maynard" is the new Program Director of KQMV as of January 2007 and will take over the midday shift.
