KQMT (99.5 FM, "99.5 The Mountain") is a classic rock/Classic Hits radio station serving the Denver area and is owned by Entercom Communications Corp. Its studios are located in the Denver Tech Center district, with its transmitter being located on Lookout Mountain near Golden. It's backup transmitter is on Ruby Hill in Denver.

KQMT broadcasts in HD. Current 99.5 The Mountain On-Air Personalities are Mike Casey, Cathy Taylor, Dan Hardee and "The G-Man".

In October 1957, the station signed on as KDEN-FM, and then in 1969, changed call letters to KVOD.

KVOD was originally a commercial radio station, marketing as the voice of classical music for the Denver Metro area. On February 18, 1996, as part of a format transfer, KVOD began simulcasting on 92.5 FM following the sale of the 99.5 frequency to Tribune Broadcasting, who launched a classic rock format called KKHK ("The Hawk") on March 4. Tribune Broadcasting acquired the station in November 1995 from Henry Broadcasting Company. Tribune then sold the station to Entercom Communications in January 2002.

Its original studios were located on South Girard Street in southeast Denver, near KWGN's old studios until 2005, when they moved into their current studios in the Denver Technology Center.
