KVI (570 AM) is a commercial radio station in Seattle, Washington. Owned by Lotus Communications, it airs a conservative talk radio format called "News Talk 570 KVI." Its transmitter is on Vashon Island and its studios and offices are located with former sister station KOMO-TV at KOMO Plaza (formerly Fisher Plaza) in Seattle.

On weekdays, KVI airs both local and nationally syndicated shows. Local hosts include John Carlson and Ari Hoffman. National hosts include "Markley, VanCamp and Robbins" (whose show is syndicated from the WMBD studios in Peoria, IL), Dana Loesch, Rita Cosby and "Red Eye Radio." Two versions of "The Lars Larson Show" are heard, one for the Northwest at noon and a national show at 2 a.m. Weekends feature shows on money, health, wine, cars and home improvement, some of which are paid brokered programming. Syndicated weekend shows include "Sunday Night Live with Bill Cunningham" and "Somewhere in Time with Art Bell." Most hours begin with NBC News Radio.
