WBCT

WBCT (93.7 FM, "B-93") is a radio station in Grand Rapids, Michigan with a country music format.

The station has had a country music format since July 24, 1992. WBCT's transmitter is at the WWMT Tower in Gun Lake (Michigan). The antenna is approximately 800 feet (240 m) up the 1,100-foot (340 m) structure. The station's signal can be heard as far east as Howell, Michigan, as far south as Rome City, Indiana, and as far north as Reed City, Michigan, providing a coverage area of 25,000 square miles (65,000 km²) over 20 counties in Michigan. This makes the transmitter one of the most powerful in North America. WBCT is a Class B "Superpower Grandfathered" station. The maximum effective radiated power (ERP) that would be granted today, under U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules, using the same antenna height of 238 meters, would be 20 kW (20,000 watts).

WBCT is licensed for HD Radio operation, and carries a classic country format on its HD2 subchannel.
