What Happened to 95.7 the Beat?
95.7 The Beat, a hip-hop and R&B station in Tampa, moved to a new frequency. It is now on 106.5/102. The reason for this is that another station, Rumba, needed a stronger signal. Rumba plays Latin music and moved to 95.7.
The change helps Rumba reach more listeners. The Beat did not disappear; it just changed its location on the radio dial. Fans of The Beat can still listen to it at the new frequency.
