KVNI (1080 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, serving the Spokane metropolitan area of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. It is owned by Morgan Murphy Media, with the license held by QueenB Radio, Inc.[3] Morgan Murphy owns seven radio stations and a TV station in the Spokane area.

KVNI airs a classic hits radio format which is also heard on its FM translator station K223AN.[4] The station's moniker is "92.5 Classic Hits", referring to the translator's dial position at 92.5 MHz.

KVNI's studios are at the QueenB Radio offices on West Boone Avenue in Spokane, Washington, and its transmitter is located several miles southeast of Coeur d'Alene.[5] The station is powered at 10,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna by day. Because AM 1080 is a clear-channel frequency, reserved for Class A stations KRLD in Dallas and WTIC in Hartford, Connecticut, KVNI reduces power at night to 1,000 watts directional to avoid interference.
