KVNV began broadcasting under the callsign KXNV, branded as Radio Free Reno and was owned by Open Sky Media.[2] In 2015 its callsign was changed to KJIV and it was rebranded as The Fine 89. KVNV was acquired by Nevada Public Radio for $550,000 in November 2016;[4] the purchase was consummated on February 17, 2017. The Fine 89 changed their branding to JiveRadio and continues to operate online with content aimed for the Reno area.[5]

Subsequently broadcasting an adult album alternative format under the branding "NV-89", KVNV flipped to its current programming on September 6, 2019. The change was necessitated due to funding shortfalls being experienced by Nevada Public Radio.

Simulcasting stations

Programming from KVNV has one direct translator, located in Carson City. It is also simulcast on the second HD Radio channels of Nevada Public Radio's other stations.[6]
