The River aired aSmooth Jazz format in its early years, and it received the "Smooth Jazz Station of The Year" award fromRadio & Records magazine in 2006.
In March 2011, KRVR changed format toAdult Hits, and one year later fine tuned the format toClassic Hits of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, although with a broaderplaylist than similar stations. The two principals of Threshold Communications each takes a weekend DJ shift, and perform duties as General Manager, Program Director & Music Director of KRVR.
In early 2018, The River began airing asyndicated program entitled "TheBeatles Years," which airs Sunday afternoons from 4 to 5 pm. That summer, KRVR started adding a little early 1990s music, but kept playing songs from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. By the 2020s, a little more 1990s music was added to The River's playlist.
