About WBTF - The Beat 107.9 FM Radio
WBTF - The Beat 107.9 FM Radio has been a fixture of central Kentucky radio since it flipped to hip hop, serving Lexington and the surrounding Bluegrass region. Licensed to Midway, the station broadcasts at 107.9 on the FM dial, reaching listeners from Georgetown to Richmond with a signal that cuts through on car radios and phone streams alike.
A Soundtrack for the Bluegrass
For years, the Lexington market leaned on heritage rock and country outlets. And then The Beat arrived, giving younger listeners a place to hear artists like Drake, Megan Thee Stallion, and Kentucky's own Jack Harlow without hunting for signals from Cincinnati or Louisville. It didn't take long for the station to become part of daily life in the city. Big plays. Loud weekends. Local mix shows that put area DJs on the air.
The 107.9 FM frequency runs from a transmitter site that pushes the signal across the Bluegrass region, and the same live stream lets former Kentuckians keep the station close after they move away. Students at UK, night-shift workers, and daily commuters all count on the same thing: current hip hop without long blocks of chatter.
- Commercial hip hop and R&B programming all day
- Local mix shows and DJ sets on weekends
- Live streaming for listeners outside the broadcast range
- Community events and contest giveaways around Lexington
What makes WBTF - The Beat 107.9 FM Radio stand out is how it grew with its audience. Songs that once played only on late-night mix shows now anchor the daytime rotation. But the mission never changed. The station remains a hip hop broadcast home where central Kentucky hears its generation's music first, loud and clear.
