On December 31, 2013, the KWBT calls and Urban Contemporary format on 104.9 Bellmead moved to 94.5 while 104.9 FM became KBHT, who in turn launched a Rhythmic Top 40 format.[2]
Currently, 94.5 The Beat "Central Texas' #1 for Hip Hop and R&B", leads in ratings.[citation needed] With the #1 night show in central Texas, The Tite at Nite Crew ( hosted by BKLYN W/2oz & DJ ADezzy), being the only live radio show. Brooklyn and ADezzy have quickly become Waco's go to show for the ride home; full of gossip, games, music and conversation. Following in rating are DJ Precyse with Nyce Afternoons with DJ Precyse and the midday princess Jazze, and also Steve Harvey Morning show.
