Station Sales iHeartMedia has not been an outright buyer of a station in quite some time. That changed this weeks as the company purchased Hot AC “92.9 The Boss” KOLT-FM Warren AFB/Cheyenne WY from Valley Bank And Trust for $500,000. The bank has owned KOLT-FM since former owner Joli Lofstedt’s Tracy Broadcasting Company defaulted on a loan in 2014. KOLT-FM will become iHeart’s third FM in the Cheyenne market joining “Big Country 97.9” KXBG Cheyenne and Country “100.7 KOLT-FM” KOLZ.

Interesting, so now Iheart owns 2 KOLT stations! Even though technically 100.7 is not in Cheyenne per say but in Loveland, but still interesting. So, I wonder now? Well it be a live and local station? Or well they keep
it as a syndicated radio station?

Do they have a web site?
At 92.9 FM here in Westminster, I'm receiving a K-Love translator that I'm assuming is close to me that keeps me from getting Star 92.9.

There isn't 2 KOLT's. iHeart moved the KOLT calls to KOLZ 100.7 FM. 92.9 FM is now KYWY.

Correction:
92.9 is NOT KOLT ( that got moved over to 100.7). (Makes more sense doesn't it?) it is now KYWY). And it well be a live station, with live personalities. No more of the Syndicated crud that they did up there). And yes the studios are NOT in Cheyenne.

From Radio Insight:

Following its acquisition of Hot AC “92.9 The Boss” KOLT-FM Warren AFB/Cheyenne WY, iHeartMedia has flipped the station to AC “Star 92.9“. Now sporting new KYWY call letters, “Star 92.9” is running commercial-free for the foreseeable future. Its former KOLT-FM call letters move to new sister station “100.7 KOLT-FM” in Cheyenne, which previously was KOLZ. iHeart purchased then KOLT-FM in January from Valley Bank And Trust for $500,000.
