Station History
WQBT has been on the air for a long time, starting in 1946. Back then, it was known as WTOC-FM. It used to play the same programs as another station, WTOC (AM).
Changing Music Styles
Before it played urban contemporary music, WQBT was a country music station for many years. It was known as WCHY and would often call itself "Y-94." The letters WCHY even stood for "We're Country Hits Yall!" This was to compete with another local station, WEAS.
Later, the station changed its name again to WSCA-FM and was called "Cat Country 94." Over the years, the station changed owners a few times before becoming the "94.1 The Beat" you hear today.
