KRVM-FM is a non-commercial listener-supported radio station based in Eugene, Oregon, broadcasting its primary programming to the Eugene-Springfield area on 91.9 FM and in Digital HD Radio on 91.9-HD1. A secondary program of Modern Music is broadcast exclusively over 91.9-HD2.

The station airs a wide variety of music. Weekdays 8AM-5PM features the AAA adult album alternative music format with students handling most of the hosting and voice tracking. Other hours feature specialty programming encompassing many genres of music. These shows are hosted by volunteer DJs who select their own music.

KRVM-FM is the oldest public radio station in the State of Oregon, and is one of only a handful of stations in the country that provides hands-on broadcast training to students. It operates from Sheldon High School, with a remote studio at Spencer Butte Middle School.

KRVM-FM is rebroadcast on translator K211BP 90.1 FM in Florence, Oregon, on KSYD 92.1 FM in Reedsport, Oregon, and KAVE 88.5 FM in Oakridge, Oregon.

It is currently the only station in Eugene-Springfield with a full-time music format broadcasting in both traditional analog FM on 91.9 MHz, as well as in Digital HD Radio on 91.9-HD1 & HD2. It also offers online streaming, with listeners around the world.

In August 2015, KRVM-FM began transmitting RBDS RadioText Title & Artist data during its AAA-format hours M-F 8am to 5pm, and on KRVM Overnight. KRVM is the only station in its market using this feature to enhance the listener experience.

In January 2016, KRVM began using the HD Radio PAD/PSD system to transmit Artist and Title on HD2. That was soon followed with the addition of PAD/PSD Artist Experience to transmit Artist, Album Name, and Track on HD1. iTunes Tagging is also supported.
