Urban One Moving WBT, Charlotte to 107.9 FM Frequency
Urban One announces a series of frequency swaps that will put news/talk WBT on the full-market 107.9 FM frequency currently occupied by hot AC WLNK-FM. WBT is heard on 1110 AM and will continue to be heard there. It has been heard on FM in 99.3 FM for decades but that signal is licensed to Chester, North
Carolina – southwest of the city of Charlotte. The company says the move will bring “Charlotte’s premier source for news, conversation, and community connection to a powerful 100,000-watt signal.” The company is moving WLNK to the 100.9 and 93.3 frequencies. Charlotte VP and market manager Marsha Landess adds, “We are thrilled to elevate WBT to the FM dial, ensuring that even more listeners can connect with the voices they trust every day. These moves further strengthen our position in the market and reinforce our commitment to serving Charlotte with the best local programming, news, and entertainment.”
