KVKI-FM (96.5 MHz, "96.5 KVKI") is an American radio station licensed to Shreveport, Louisiana. The station is broadcasting an adult contemporary format. KVKI-FM serves the Shreveport–Bossier City metropolitan area, and is owned by Townsquare Media.[2] Its studios are shared with its other five sister stations in West Shreveport (one mile west of Shreveport Regional Airport), and the transmitter is in Blanchard, Louisiana. The call letters were originally KBCL-FM, and later became religious station KEPT, before the call letters were changed to KVKI to be similar to the call letters of the popular KVIL radio station in Dallas, Texas.
