KZWV, known as 101.9 The Wave, is a radio station at 101.9 FM licensed to Eldon, Missouri. It broadcasts an adult contemporary format to listeners around the Lake of the Ozarks, including Osage Beach and Jefferson City. The studio is on Osage Beach Road in Osage Beach, with the transmitter just south of Eldon along U.S. Route 54. The station began broadcasting on October 2, 2006.

The station’s original permit was issued to Randy Wright of Wright Communications, LLLP (the operator of KMIZ-TV). The 101.9 frequency in Eldon previously belonged to KBMX, a soft adult contemporary station that closed in October 2001; its license was revoked after the owner was convicted of child molestation charges. Zimmer Radio of Mid-Missouri, Inc. bought KZWV in 2013 for $675,000. From 2014 through 2016, KZWV was voted Best Radio Station at the Lake by readers of Lake Lifestyles magazine for the third year in a row. Sister stations include KCLR-FM, KTXY, KCMQ, KSSZ, KTGR, KTGR-FM, KFAL, KATI, and KWOS.
