WCTK (98.1 FM, "Cat Country 98.1") is a country music formatted radio station serving Southern New England, with studios in Providence, Rhode Island, and transmitter in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
History
WCTK was originally WFMR and an authorized power of 20 kilowatts. By the 1970s it was WMYS, a soft rock/oldies based station broadcasting from New Bedford. On July 28, 1989, the station switched formats to country and changed its call sign to WCTK. The new country station was originally known as "Country 98.1 WCTK." In 1994, WCTK began calling itself "Cat Country." In 1997, the station moved its studios from New Bedford to the Roland Building in Providence to concentrate on fully serving the Providence Arbitron metro.
