KRQN (107.1 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Top 40 (CHR) music format, branded as "i107-1."[1] Licensed to Vinton, Iowa, United States, the station serves the Cedar Rapids, Iowa area. The station is currently owned by George S. Flinn, Jr. but is operated by Townsquare Media under a time brokerage agreement.[2] KRQN's studios are located on Second Street SE in Cedar Rapids, while its transmitter is located east of Vinton near Pleasant Creek State Recreation Area.

Previously, KRQN had a classic hits format. On September 9, 2011, at 1:07 p.m., after stunting with clips of top 40 music and liners promoting that "the clock is ticking" and to "lock in a preset" and listen at said time, along with bell tolling sounds and people saying "I", 107.1 flipped to Top 40/CHR as i107-1, launching with Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO. With this move, KRQN will take on the market's more established Top 40/CHR, KZIA.
