KQRV (96.9 FM, "The River") is a commercial radio station in Deer Lodge, Montana, broadcasting to the Butte, Montana area. KQRV airs a soft oldies format. In August 2017, KQRV changed its format from country to a smooth gold based oldies format but still kept the River brand.

In 2020 the river went silent after the owner died. As of 2022, KQRV came back online with an automated Oldies format similar to the true oldies channel syndicated nationwide.
