KRQV (92.9 FM, "92.9 The River") is a commercial radio station in Tulsa, Oklahoma, airing a classic hits format. It is owned by Griffin Communications with studios on North Boston Avenue in Downtown Tulsa.
KRQV has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 100,000 watts. The transmitter tower is off Oklahoma State Highway 97 in the Osage Reservation in Sand Springs, Oklahoma.
The station signed on the air in March 1964. The original call sign was KAKC-FM, and was the FM sister station to KAKC (970 AM, now KCFO). At first, it simulcast the AM station's programming. By Summer 1977, it was airing an easy listening format, taking the call sign KBEZ, with the last two call letters signifying "Easy." Over time, the number of instrumental easy songs decreased and the soft vocals increased, moving the station to a soft adult contemporary music format.
On January 13, 2010, just after 1 pm, 58-year-old Barry Styles came to KBEZ's and KHTT's offices and studios, and walked up and down the hallways demanding to speak to morning show co-host Carly Rush. When the receptionist informed the man she had left for the day, he walked out of the office, then immediately returned brandishing a pistol. The receptionist escaped to the back of the office and called the Tulsa Police Department.
The gunman trapped several employees inside the office and guarded the exit. After approximately ten minutes, police arrived on scene. When the gunman refused to drop his weapon, police fired three, shots, hitting him in the waist once. Shortly after, the police handcuffed the man and he was taken to a hospital where he was listed as being in serious condition. No employees were hurt.[citation needed]
At noon on June 10, 2010, KBEZ dropped its longtime adult contemporary format and adopted an adult hits format as "92.9 BOB FM". The last song on KBEZ was "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John; the first song on Bob FM was "I Gotta Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas.
At noon on September 9, 2013, KBEZ shifted to classic hits, while retaining the "Bob FM" moniker. The station later dropped most music from the 1960s to concentrate on the 1970s and 1980s, as well as some 1990s hits, using the slogan "Tulsa's Greatest Hits."
On August 1, 2017, KBEZ rebranded as "92.9 The Drive".
