KNRQ-FM is a commercial alternative rock music radio station in Eugene, Oregon, broadcasting to the Eugene–Springfield, Oregon area on 97.9 FM.

Most recently, the station became alternative rock, much like sister station WFTK in Cincinnati.

The station applied for an FCC construction permit to move its 97.9 frequency and change its city of license to Tualatin, Oregon, so it can serve the Portland area. It was granted on May 24, 2010. The station applied for a modified construction permit to move the 97.9 frequency and change its city of license to Aloha, Oregon, also serving the Portland area. It was granted then cancelled on July 19, 2011. A new application has been filed that requests changing the transmitter site to the Stonehenge multiuser radio tower in Portland. If granted the ERP will decrease to 54,000 watts and the HAAT will increase to 387 meters. After KNRQ's 96.3 frequency moves to Portland, Cumulus is expected to move KNRQ's format in Eugene to KXPC at 103.7, which they acquired from Educational Media Foundation in a station swap in 2012 that resulted in Cumulus giving up a station in Santa Barbara, California in order to take ownership of KXPC.
