After weeks of dead air and a week-long stunt of a loop of Tone Lōc's "Wild Thing", the station was relaunched on December 6, 1999 as WBOT, "Hot 97.7", targeting the Greater Boston area with a Mainstream Urban format.
The end of WILD-FM came after "Wild Thing" by Tone-Loc at about 7:00 pm EDT on August 21, and the station began a stunt of a computerized voice counting down to 5:30 pm EDT the following day, August 22.
