KBVR-FM 88.7 was originally broadcast from Shepherd Hall on the Oregon State University Campus in 1965 at 90.1 MHz with 10 watts of power and a 4 to 5 mile listening radius. The station relocated to Snell Hall, its current location in 1977, and continued to expand its listening area to the current radius of 30 miles using 340 watts of power and moved to its current 88.7 MHz frequency.

In the first six months of operations, KBVR-FM (90.1 then) was only on the air from 6–7:00 pm Monday-Friday. In the past 37 years however, KBVR has expanded considerably and currently KBVR covers the airwaves 24 hours a day, seven days a week and includes news, sports and talk variety shows. The show formats include indie rock, punk, jazz, blues, electronica, funk, hip-hop, nu metal and alternative metal, classical, world, and sports talk. The station also broadcasts live Beaver Football and Men's Basketball games.

KBVR-FM is funded by student fees and underwriting grants from local and national businesses. The underwriting director is responsible for generating such grants.

Awards

In 2014, KBVR took home a total of nine awards at the Intercollegiate Broadcasting Awards in New York City, including "Best College/University Station" for schools with over 10,000 students.
