-On December 31, 2013, the KWBT call letters and [[Urban Contemporary]] format on 104.9 in [[Bellmead, Texas]], moved to 94.5 while 104.9 FM became [[KBHT]], which in turn launched an [[Adult Hits]] format.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://radioinsight.com/blog/headlines/netgnomes/86854/wacos-beat-moving/|title = Waco's Beat Moves; Hot 104.9 Debuts}}</ref>
-The station had planned to launch their HD2 feed on FM [[broadcast relay station|translator station]] K231CG in early October 2018, however the launch was delayed to the end of October due to "engineering and recent weather issues". On December 21, 2018, the [[Federal Communications Commission]] rescinded K231CG's broadcast license, as it had never properly been constructed before the expiration of its construction permit in 2016.
-As of October 2023, KWBT flipped to Urban AC as "Magic 94.5" The previous Urban/Hip-Hop format that aired on KWBT is now FM translator K297CC on 107.3 simulcasting [[KBHT]] HD-4 as "The Beat 107.3"
