KPAW (92.9 FM) is a radio station licensedtoWarren AFB, Wyoming. Owned by iHeartMedia, it broadcasts a classic rock format branded as 92.9 The Bear.

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.^[2]

As of 2016, it operated with a hot adult contemporary format as 92.9 The Boss. KOLT-FM was acquired by iHeartMedia in January 2016, after its previous owner, Tracy Broadcasting Company, defaulted on a loan and was repossessed by the Valley Bank & Trust. In April 2016, the station flipped to adult contemporaryasStar 92.9, and adopted the call letters KYWY (the KOLT-FM calls were then assumed by a sister country station).^[3][4]

On July 27, 1975, KCOL-FM first signed on.^[5] It was the sister stationtoAM 1410 KCOL (now on AM 600). KCOL-FM aired a beautiful music format. In 1988, the station switched to a 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 sound, then moving to classic hits around 2000, and later to classic rock.

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 musicasKWBL) 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.^[6]
