On April 4, 2011, WKTU was moved from the rhythmic CHR panel on Mediabase to CHR (top 40), reflecting the recent evolution of the station's music to a more rhythmic adult contemporary direction again without disco/classic dance titles. At the same time, Nielsen BDS refrained from including WKTU's playlist on its top 40/CHR panel because of its direction and having sister station WHTZ as a reporter, but the station did contribute to BDS' Dance/Mix Show Airplay panel due to having club music mix shows on the station up until August 16, 2014, when BDS added WKTU to the top 40/CHR panel, with the inclusion of non-rhythmic titles.
