WCTW (98.5 FM "98.5 The Cat") is a hot adult contemporary music formatted radio station licensed to Catskill, New York, and serving Columbia and Greene counties as well as the upper Hudson Valley, the southern Capital District, and Berkshire County, Massachusetts. The station is owned by iHeartMedia and broadcasts at 4.7 kW ERP from the center tower^[2] of the three-tower array used by former sister station WCKL, on Route 9G in Greenport, New York.
