KVGQ (106.9 FM, "Q106.9") is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Overton, Nevada, United States. The station is owned by Kemp Broadcasting and the broadcast license is held by Kemp Communications, Inc. KVGQ broadcasts a contemporary hit radio radio format to the Las Vegas metropolitan area.[2] Its studios are located on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip making Q106.9 one of the few media outlets in this location. Its transmitter site is near Moapa Valley.

This station's programming is also simulcast on KEMP (99.3 FM) in Payson, Arizona. That station claims to broadcast to the Phoenix radio market, although there is a translator station on 99.3 in Phoenix, blocking KEMP within city limits. KEMP is powered at 17,000 watts and covers a region northeast of Phoenix and southeast of Flagstaff, Arizona.

KVGQ was assigned its call sign by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on November 13, 2009.[1]

Until its format switch on June 24, 2013, the station broadcast an adult hits format specializing in seldom heard pop and rock songs.

In 2017, the station tweaked its format from hot AC to adult CHR by having a more current-intensive playlist.

Booster station

KVGQ programming is also carried by a booster station to extend or improve the coverage area of the station.
