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-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=2017-12-11|work=RadioInsight|access-date=2017-12-11|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=2017-12-18|work=RadioInsight|access-date=2017-12-19|language=en-US}}</ref> The move of the station in Denver from the 106.7 full-power signal to a 107.9 translator that barely covers most of Denver proper has been criticized by metro listeners due to reception and audio quality issues.
