KVNI (1080 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, serving the Spokane metropolitan area of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. It is owned by Morgan Murphy Media but is run by QueenB Radio, Inc., under a local marketing agreement. Queen B owns seven radio stations and a TV station in the Spokane area.
KVNI airs an adult contemporary radio format, which is also carried on an FM translator station, K223AN. The two stations call themselves "92.5 Kootenai FM," referring to the translator's dial position at 92.5 MHz. (Couer d'Alene is the county seat of Kootenai County, Idaho.) Between mid-November and December 25th, the stations switch to an all-Christmas music format.
KVNI studios are at the QueenB Radio offices on West Boone Avenue in Spokane, Washington. The transmitter is located several miles southeast of Couer d'Alene. The station is powered at 10,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna by day. But because AM 1080 is a clear-channel frequency, reserved for Class A stations KRLD in Dallas and WTIC in Hartford, Connecticut, KVNI reduces power at night to 1000 watts directional to avoid interference.
