Well it looks like 94.3 has failed (again, what a NO SURPRISE this was). So now Townsquare media is going to try (yet another format on 94.3) here is the story from the Coloradoan:

A new radio station, 94.3 The X, will soon be be bringing alternative music from the 1990s to now to the Front Range.

The station will go live Wednesday at noon, according to Town Square Media.

The announcement was made Saturday at the Downtown Artery in Fort Collins following a stripped-down performance by Third Eye Blind lead singer Stephan Jenkins.

I am not a bit surprised about this format change... Since 94.3 has had no luck in the ratings with the ROCK format it has right now! Funny, I told the PD that it failed.
