WDVE is an FM radio station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA at 102.5 MHz. It is often referred to by Pittsburghers as simply DVE.

The station, which was once known as KQV-FM, has aired rock music since 1969. The station's call letters, chosen at the height of the "hippie" era, originally stood for "dove". The station has traditionally set their logo in white and yellow with red accents against a black background, generally using the slogan "DVE Rocks."

In recent years, the station's format has gradually drifted towards "classic rock" with current releases rarely incorporated into the playlist. The station is currently owned by Clear Channel Communications, and along with WBGG) serves as the flagship radio station of the Pittsburgh Steelers radio network. For years it was the home for Pittsburgh Penguins hockey, promoting itself with such oddities as a young Jaromir Jagr reading the morning weather forecast in heavily accented English.

WDVE is home to the morning show Disc Jockey's Jim Krenn and Randy Baumann.

WDVE HD2

On April 25, 2006, Clear Channel announced that WDVE's HD2 subchannel will carry a format focusing on Blues.
