WQBT (94.1 FM), known as "94.1 The Beat", is a Mainstream Urban radio station targeted towards Savannah, Georgia. It is owned by Clear Channel Broadcasting.
Programming
The station had controversial morning hosts Star and Buc Wild -- which replaced Russ Parr in the morning slot. Parr's show has since returned to WQBT's morning drive time slot.
History
Before the mid-70's, the station was a simulcast of WTOC (AM), and had the callsign of WTOC-FM. Before it was an Mainstream Urban formatted station, it had a long stint as a country music formatted station. In the late '80s and early '90s, the callsign WCHY was part of the station's identity as a Country station ("WCHY 94.1 Continuous Country"; the station would sometimes refer to itself as "Y-94".), thus the callsign's creation, as at that time it stood for We're Country Hits Y'all. Later, this station was "WSCA-FM - Cat Country 94."
The station's previous callsign, WCHY-FM, is now in Madison, Wisconsin at Entercom-owned Adult Hits station, "105-1 Charlie FM - We Play Anything!".
