KRSE (105.7 FM, "The Hawk") is a radio station broadcasting a classic rock format. Licensed to Yakima, Washington, USA, the station serves the Yakima area. The station is currently owned by James Ingstad of Fargo, North Dakota.[1]

On May 26, 2010, it was rumoured KRSE's parent company New Northwest Broadcasters's stations could possibly be sold in the near future. Principal of Revitalization Partners, Alan Davis says "The stations are on the air; it’s business as usual. I can only tell you there appears to be demand for the stations."[2][3] In 2012, the stations were sold to James Ingstad.

On August 29, 2014, at 5PM, KRSE changed their format from adult hits (as "Bob FM") to classic rock, branded as "105.7 The Hawk". The last song on 105.7 Bob FM was Rock Me Amadeus by Falco, while the first song on 105.7 The Hawk was Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N' Roses.[4] [5]
