**KBTT** (103.7 [FM](/source/FM_broadcasting), "103.7 Tha Beat") is an American radio station [licensed](/source/City_of_license) to [Haughton, Louisiana](/source/Haughton%2C_Louisiana). The station is broadcasting a [mainstream urban](/source/Urban_contemporary) format. The station serves the [Shreveport–Bossier City metropolitan area](/source/Shreveport%E2%80%93Bossier_City_metropolitan_area).

## History

Around the late 1990s to early 2000 KBTT, originally called *"K-103 Tha Beat",* was launched with a [rhythmic contemporary](/source/Rhythmic_contemporary) format originally as one of the first competitors to [KMJJ](/source/KMJJ). KBTT's sister station [KDKS](/source/KDKS) was launched at the same time as an [urban contemporary](/source/Urban_contemporary) format. But once KDKS turned its format over to [urban AC](/source/Urban_AC) to compete with newcomer [KVMA-FM](/source/KVMA-FM) (KMJJ's sister), KBTT tilted its format over to mainstream urban since Shreveport-Bossier City market has a huge African American population to support it as opposed to rhythmic. It is the syndicated home of the *[Rickey Smiley](/source/Rickey_Smiley) Morning Show*.
