===Move to 107.9===
On July 27, 1975, 107.9 FM first signed on as KCOL-FM.<ref>[http://americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC-YB/1980/C-1%20Radio%20Broadcasting%20Yearbook%201980.pdf Broadcasting Yearbook 1980 page C-35]</ref>  It was the [[sister station]] to [[KIIX (AM)|KCOL (1410 AM)]].  KCOL-FM aired a [[beautiful music]] format.  In 1988, the station switched to a [[contemporary hit radio|Top 40]] format as KIMN, which were the call letters of a popular Top 40 station in Denver in past years.  The station took the call letters KPAW in 1995, at first keeping its Top 40 format, then moving to [[classic hits]] around 2000, and later to classic rock.

In December 2017, iHeartMedia launched a [[trimulcast]] of KBPI, utilizing the analog 107.9 frequency across several markets in the [[Interstate 25 in Colorado|Interstate 25 corridor]]. On December 5, the programming and call letters of classic rock KPAW, which targets Fort Collins and the [[Northern Front Range]], was moved to KYWY (92.9) in [[Cheyenne, Wyoming]] (which moved its [[adult contemporary]] format to [[KOLT-FM|KOLT-FM HD2]] (100.7-HD2) and translator station [[K246CI]] (97.1) four days prior).

On December 11, KBPI's programming and call letters then moved to the 107.9 frequency vacated by KPAW and co-channel Denver translator K300CP, while sister station [[KBPL|KDZA]] in [[Pueblo, Colorado|Pueblo]], which also serves [[Colorado Springs]], flipped to a simulcast of KBPI (and switched their calls to KBPL the following month). The previous 106.7 signal, which warehoused the KYWY call letters, simulcasted KBPI for a week before flipping to [[country music|country]] as [[KWBL]] on December 18, 2017.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/121387/iheart-begins-three-market-format-shuffle-cheyenne/|title=KBPI Moves To 107.9 As Three Station Trimulcast In Denver, Fort Collins & Colorado Springs|date=December 11, 2017|work=RadioInsight|access-date=December 11, 2017|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/121851/iheartmedia-launches-106-7-bull-denver/|title=iHeartMedia Launches 106.7 The Bull Denver|date=December 18, 2017|work=RadioInsight|access-date=December 19, 2017|language=en-US}}</ref> KBPL partially broke away from the trimulcast in January 2019, reintroducing local hosts in the afternoon and nighttime dayparts, and carrying a separate playlist.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-01-29 |title=iHeartMedia launches KBPI South |url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/174086/iheartmedia-launches-kbpi-south/ |access-date=2023-10-25 |website=Radio Insight}}</ref>
