KQRV (96.9 FM, "The River") is a commercial radio station in Deer Lodge, Montana, broadcasting to the Butte, Montana area. KQRV airs a soft oldies format.

The station first signed on in July 4, 1997. [2] In August 2017, KQRV changed its format from country to a smooth gold based oldies format but still kept the River brand.

In 2020, the River went silent after its owner died. As of 2022, KQRV came back online with an automated Oldies format similar to the true oldies channel syndicated nationwide.
