KQDS-FM (94.9 FM, "KQ 95") is a classic rock music formatted radio station located in Duluth, Minnesota. It is owned by Red River Broadcasting, and follows a format similar to that of the well-known KQRS-FM in the Twin Cities.

The studios are located at Grandma's Marketplace, 501 Lake Ave South in Canal Park, Duluth. The station's studios also house Lite FM, 94X and 1490 The Fan

KQDS-FM is simulcasted on WXXZ FM 95.3 Grand Marais, KFGI FM 101.5 Crosby/Brainerd, KAOD FM 106.7 Babbitt, and KBAJ FM 105.5 Deer River/Grand Rapids. All stations are owned by Red River Broadcasting. KQ 95's main competitor is Midwest Communications' 102.5 KHQG.

KQDS is probably best known for "The KQ Morning Show" which for the last decade has been rated first among adults 25-54 and Men 25-54. The show's long time host, Bill Jones announced that December 15, 2009 would be his last day at the station as he was leaving the broadcast industry and the city of Duluth. Jones' Co-host, Jason Manning will return to KQ with a "revamped" morning show on January 4, 2010.
