History
[edit]The station began broadcasting in September 1972, holding the call sign KNIM-FM, simulcast the programming of AM 1580 KNIM.[1] It originally broadcast at 95.3 MHz.[1][2] On August 4, 2010, its call sign was changed to KVVL reflecting its branding as the Ville.[3]
On December 31, 2021, Regional Media acquired the station and its sister station KNIM from Nodaway Broadcasting which had been owned by Jim and Joyce Cronin since 1996.[6] On January 14, 2022, Regional Media flipped the station from classic rock to alternative rock, and rebranded to "Real Alternative Radio".[7] At that time, the station also added the syndicated The Bob & Tom Show in morning drive.
On November 14, 2023, KVVL flipped back to classic rock positioning as "Everything That Rocks".
