KKVM (104.7 FM) is a radio station broadcasting an album adult alternative format.^[1] Licensed to Vail, Colorado, United States, the station is currently owned by Steve Leigh through licensee KNS Broadcasting, LLC.^[2]

History[]

The station was assigned the call letters KSKE on 1989-12-21. On 1990-01-29, the station changed its call sign to KSKE-FM. On 2009-09-08, the station changed its call sign to KBTB, and on 2011-04-26 to the current KKVM.^[3]

In 2011, the station call letters were changed to KKVM to reflect the new format designed and launched by Chuck Lontine of Marconi Media Ventures. Mr. Lontine also created the format, logo and design of the stations overall sound and audio imaging with the help of music programmer Jayme A. Bregman. That new sound, "The Mile" is a popular mix of soft alternative rock music. The Mile was named after the popular background ski trail "the Mile" between Vail Mountain and Minturn, Colorado by Mr. Lontine. KKVM subsequently went through numerous ownership and format changes before it's current incarnation of playing Classic Hits.

The Mile is an affiliate of the syndicated Pink Floyd program "Floydian Slip."
