On July 21, 2011, WBTF got a second competitor, [[W280DO|WiLD 103.9]] ([[WLKT]]-HD2), owned by [[Clear Channel]]. The station launched on a former K-Love translator, and is currently the HD-2 channel for crosstown station, 104.5 The Cat, a [[Mainstream Top 40]] station. Both The Cat and WiLD use Clear Channel's [[List of programming syndicated by Clear Channel#Premium Choice|Premium Choice]] programming. Clear Channel hopes to siphon off WBTF's younger demos by playing more current-based Hip-Hop and R&B hits as a way to counter WBTF's traditional presentation. |
