History

When the Quad Cities' allocation for 106.5 FM first signed on-the-air in 1966, it was home to the market's first FM country music station. The station was known as KWNT-FM, and for the most part was simply the FM repeater for KWNT's AM signal (at 1580 kHz). KWNT-AM was a daytime station and was required to sign-off the air at sunset. KWNT-FM briefly had its own talk show after the AM station had signed off for the day. Also, shortly before becoming KRVR, KWNT-FM featured album rock music. It was the first commercial station in the Quad Cities market to do so.
