KACV-FM (89.9 MHz, "FM90") is a college radio station in Amarillo, Texas, United States. The station is owned and operated by the city's community college, Amarillo College along with its television partner, PBS station KACV-TV (channel 2). Both KACV-FM-TV operate studios at Gilvin Broadcast Center[1] on Amarillo College's Washington Street campus, while KACV-FM's transmitter is located north of Amarillo in unincorporated Potter County.

Founded in 1976, the station is a typical, unaffiliated campus radio station,[clarification needed] featuring alternative rock music during the week. Beginning in 1987, the station carried the syndicated program Dr. Demento. Under a special contract, KACV was the only station allowed to air the program after Dr. Demento canceled his terrestrial broadcast in 2010 and moved exclusively to the Internet. KACV carried the Internet version of the show until early 2011.[2]
