HD Radio[edit]

KMVQ-FM HD1 airs the same programming as the analog frequency. KMVQ-FM HD2 features a dance format, billed as "Pulse Radio". The move came about after KNGY dropped its dance format for Top 40/CHR in September 2009. The station became a full-time reporter on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay reporting panel in May 2019.[20]
