WBTT (105.5 The Beat) is a Rhythmic Top 40 radio station serving Southwest Florida—primarily Lee, Collier, and Charlotte counties. The iHeartMedia, Inc. outlet broadcasts at 105.5 MHz with an ERP of 23.5 kW and its COL is Naples Park, Florida. The station's current slogan is "SW Florida's #1 Party Station," complemented by their on-air guarantee of "30 minutes of non-stop hip-hop."
Prior to its flip to Rhythmic Top 40 in the Spring of 2000, WBTT's previous format was Country, when it was WQNU.
They are also the third FM station in the United States to use the WBTT call letters; the other two were WRNW/Milwaukee, Wisconsin and WYDB/Dayton, Ohio, both also owned by Clear Channel.
