KKRQ (100.7 FM) is a classic rock station in the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City areas. Known as "100.7 The Fox", the station is operated by iHeartMedia and licensed to Iowa City, Iowa, with studios located in Cedar Rapids.

Music on "100.7 The Fox" includes hits from the 1960s through the 1990s, and uses the slogan "The Corridor's Classic Rock".

KKRQ broadcasts with a power of 100,000 watts, with transmitter and tower located outside its studios on the north side of Iowa City. Sister station KXIC (800 AM) is located in the same facility.

On March 31, 2023 an EF-2 Tornado knocked down the station's radio tower forcing the station off the air. The station plans on rebuilding their tower and using a temporary transmitter to broadcast in the meantime.[2]
