The station used to be known as "The Jet" and aired a classic rock format. It adopted the slogan "Star 100.9" and aired an adult contemporary format.[ citation needed ] In May 2009, Jeff Edwards, who hosted the weekday midday show, became Program Director. He has held that role, in addition to Music Director since 2009. His shows included The '80s Lunchbreak, an all-1980s hour and from 2010 to 2017 he also hosted a Saturday morning 1970s show, 70's Spotlight Saturday.

On December 15, 2023, KQSR flipped to classic hits. The station rebranded as "100.9 The River", and adopted the slogan "Yuma's Classic Hits". [3] Stacy Lynn hosts the morning show with Michael Gallagher hosting afternoons. Program Director Jeff Edwards hosts a Saturday afternoon show.
