Dean and Rog hosted the KBPI Morning Show from 1991 to 1996. They were known for features like "The Birthday Scam" and "Torture Tuesday", as well as other stunts. In 1996, the duo and two other station employees were charged with disorderly conduct for entering a [[mosque]] while playing "[[The Star-Spangled Banner]]" on a trumpet and trombone. This was in response to [[Denver Nuggets|Nuggets]] player [[Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf]]'s refusal to stand for the anthem before games.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C05E0D91439F937A15750C0A960958260 | work=The New York Times | title=Charges Are Filed In Mosque Incident | date=March 24, 1996 | access-date=May 7, 2010}}</ref>
 
After more than twenty years with a mainstream [[album rock]] format, KBPI shifted to [[active rock]] in late 1995, calling its new format "The New Music Revolution".<ref>{{cite journalmagazine|title=Vox Jox|journalmagazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|date=October 14, 1995|volume=107|issue=41|page=79}}</ref> At the time, KBPI had an [[alternative rock]] lean. A few years later, KBPI would bring back the old slogan "Rocks the Rockies".
 
In 2007, the station was nominated for ''[[Radio & Records]]''{{'}} Industry Achievement Award for best active rock station in a top 25 market.<ref name="randrawards">{{cite news|title=2007 Industry Achievement Awards |date=September 28, 2008 |url=http://www.radioandrecords.com/Conventions/con2007/awards/rockFinal.asp |work=Radio and Records |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080517165802/http://www.radioandrecords.com/Conventions/con2007/awards/rockFinal.asp |archive-date=May 17, 2008 }}</ref>
