KRVB is a commercial radio station located in Boise, Idaho, broadcasting to the Boise, Idaho area on 94.9 FM. KRVB airs an adult album alternative music format branded as "The River" (a reference to Boise and nearby Snake Rivers).
94.9 was launched as KFXD in 1975. It was housed as a top 40 station branded "KF95" until 2000 when KARO (now KSAS) on 103.3 flips to a top 40 station known as "103.3 Kiss FM" (now 103.5 Kiss FM).
Journal Communications and The E.W. Scripps Company announced on July 30, 2014 that the two companies would merge to create a new broadcast company under the E.W. Scripps Company name that will own the two companies' broadcast properties, including KRVB. The transaction is slated to be completed in 2015, pending shareholder and regulatory approvals.
