KCVM

KCVM (93.5 FM) is a commercial radio station located in Evansdale, Iowa, serving the Waterloo–Cedar Falls area.

However, due to the need to protect several other stations in nearby markets from interference, the station had broadcast at an effective radiated power of 6 kilowatts with an extremely directional antenna pattern to avoid co-channel interference to stations such as KNWM in Madrid (Des Moines), KQPR in Albert Lea, Minnesota, and KMXG in Clinton (Quad Cities).

KCVM was also required to protect KCHA-FM (95.9 MHz) in Charles City from adjacent-channel interference.

On June 4, 2010, it was announced that KCVM would be moving from 96.1 to 93.5[3] and by July 22, KCVM had made the switch to 93.5 MHz; a frequency which allows the station to better serve the Cedar Valley since there are fewer stations on and near the 93.5 frequency that require protection from interference.

On November 23, 2018, KCVM launched a Christmas music format on its HD2 subchannel, relayed on translator K293CH 106.5 FM Waterloo.
