KPAW (92.9 FM) is a radio station licensed to Warren AFB, Wyoming. Owned by iHeartMedia, it broadcasts a classic rock format branded as 92.9 The Bear.
History
92.9 license
The station was assigned the call letters KOLT-FM on February 7, 2007. It was known previously as a Regional Mexican, prior to that a country music station, and the original frequency to KMOR-FM in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, which broadcast a classic rock format before the move to Cheyenne.[1]
As of 2016, it operated with a
KPAW intellectual unit
On July 27, 1975, KCOL-FM first signed on.
On December 5, 2017, iHeartMedia moved KPAW's intellectual unit and call sign to the 92.9 frequency (formerly held by sister station KYWY, which moved its adult contemporary format to KOLT-HD2 and translator station K246CI), so it could shift KBPI's programming to 107.9 from 106.7 (which briefly warehoused the KYWY calls before flipping to country music as KWBL) to form a trimulcast (107.9 KDZA in Colorado Springs also flipped to a simulcast of KBPI, while the station operates a translator on 107.9 in Denver), which officially launched on December 11, 2017. iHeartMedia promoted that this change strengthened the station's signal and reach.[5]
