in december 2017, iheartmedia re-aligned multiple stations in the denver, colorado springs, fort collins, and cheyenne markets in order to form a trimulcast (which was later split up on january 28, 2019) of kbpi on the 107.9 frequency. to facilitate the move for the main signal, on the 1st, kywy (an adult contemporary station in cheyenne, wyoming, which was acquired by iheart in 2016) moved its existing format to an hd radio subchannel of kolt-fm and its analog translator on 97.1, allowing kpaw to move its classic rock format and call letters to the 92.9 signal four days later. on the 11th, kbpi then moved its format and call letters to kpaw and translator k300cp, while also adding a simulcast on kdza-fm. the kywy calls were warehoused on the former 106.7 signal; iheart stated that the station would temporarily simulcast kbpi through the end of the year, and be re-launched with a new format after the end of the simulcast period.
