KRVO -- 103.1 The River's Top 103 of 2009

KRVO is a small station on Montana's ski country. Columbia Falls, Mt to be exact. As a small market station it does not have the luxury of narrowcasting, which makes this station's playlist less confined to its chosen format (almost always a good thing) and more prone to playing Top 40 (which is not always a bad thing). Interstingly, the further down you go on the list the more typically AAA the songs get. Anyway you can do a lot worse than this station -- especially in rural Montana
