KQLZ (99.1 FM) is a radio station broadcasting an Modern Rock music format. Licensed to Mountain Home, Idaho, USA, the station serves the Boise area. The station is currently owned by Impact Radio Group.

The station was assigned the call letters KQKZ on 1980-12-12. On 1984-11-01, the station changed its call sign to KJCY-FM, on 1989-06-01 to KLVJ-FM, on 1997-01-07 to KTPZ, on 2007-03-30 to KTPD, and on 2007-06-28 to KTMB. In 2008 Impact Radio Group acquired the station and moved the KQLZ calls to this frequency from the 100.7 frequency, and along with it replaced the Talk format with Oldies, featuring programing from ABC Radio Network's True Oldies Channel.

On September 4, 2009 at 12 noon, KQLZ ended three days of stunting with Michael Jackson's "Thriller" to become "99-1 The Bronco," playing country music. The move came after the demise of the syndicated "True Oldies Channel" and subsequent retirement of longtime Boise radio voice "Big" Jack Armstrong. Then at 3:49pm on September 4, the Country format was abruptly stopped, and the station was again relaunched, this time as "99.1 The Virus."

Questions arose about the new name, as it shared the name of XM Satellite Radio talk channel, The Virus. However, Impact Radio Group's GM didn't "consider it a problem". Since the original launch, the station has dropped the Virus name and changed its name to V99.1 FM.
