KHDV (107.9 FM, "107.9 The Drive") is a silent American FM radio station licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to serve the city of Darby, Montana. It last aired a classic hits music format.

The license was the result of an auction held January 31, 2006, which awarded the license for a bid of $178,000. [2] The station was granted its construction permit on June 28, 2006, [3] and received permission to begin full power operation on September 6, 2007. [4]

On September 1, 2013, KHDV changed their format from country to classic hits, branded as "The Drive".

KHDV signed off the air on New Year's Eve 2024, as owner Sheila Callahan retired from radio broadcasting. Sister station KMSO 102.5, repeated on K292GH in Hamilton, also signed off. [5]
