KRVM-FM is a community Public Broadcasting radio station in Eugene, Oregon, serving Eugene-Springfield as well as Lane County, Oregon and beyond on 91.9 MHz FM. Terrestrial digital radio service is also broadcast via HD Radio on 91.9-HD1. KRVM's primary programming is available via online streaming, with listener-supporters located around the world.

KRVM also broadcasts a secondary program of Modern Music exclusively over 91.9-HD2.

The station license and studio facility are owned by Lane County School District No. 4J (Eugene School District 4J) but the school district provides no direct funding to the station. All funding comes from listener supporters, business underwriters, and the Corporation For Public Broadcasting.[1]

KRVM-FM is the oldest public radio station in the State of Oregon. The first words ever spoken on FM radio in the Pacific Northwest were broadcast on KRVM on December 6, 1947.[2] KRVM is also one of only a handful of stations in the country providing hands-on broadcast training to high school and middle school students.[3] The main studio is located at Sheldon High School, with a satellite studio at Spencer Butte Middle School.

The station airs a wide variety of music. Weekdays 8AM-5PM feature a progressive AAA adult album alternative music format with students handling much of the hosting and voice tracking. Other hours feature specialty programming encompassing many genres of music, including "Breakfast With The Blues" every morning. Specialty shows are hosted by volunteer DJs who select their own music.

KRVM-FM is currently the only station in Eugene-Springfield with a full-time music format broadcasting in Digital HD Radio on 91.9-HD1 & HD2.

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.
