KPVL (89.1 FM) was a non-commercial community radio station licensed to Postville, Iowa, United States.

History

89.1 KPVL was an independent, non-commercial community radio station that went on the air in December 2002 with a mission to meet the needs of Postville's diverse community.

Programs produced in Hebrew, Spanish, and Russian provided Postville's emerging immigrant populations with a reliable link to community news, issues and events. Other educational and public affairs shows celebrated local culture and served as a platform for community dialog and understanding.

KPVL's main broadcast studio was located in downtown Decorah and a second volunteer training and production studio was also maintained in Postville. A power increase to the station's transmitter brought community radio to the greater four-county area of Northeast Iowa.

In 2015, KPVL ceased broadcasting.
