History

The station signed on the air on October 22, 1987; 37 years ago (1987-10-22).^[2] Its original call sign was WIXL. It was owned by Woodlinger Broadcasting and it aired an adult standards format from the Satellite Music Network (SMN). It was powered at 950 watts, a fraction of its current output.

Through the years, it had several different formats and call signs. Prior to its flip to rhythmic contemporary in the Spring of 2000, WBTT's previous format was country music, when it was WQNU.

This is the third FM station in the United States to use the WBTT call letters. The other two were what is currently WRNW in Milwaukee and WYDB in Dayton, Ohio.
