History and current status

[edit]

WAVP began broadcasting October 1, 1970. In 1992, the owner was Andrew Banas who bought the station for $100,000 in September 1990.[2] The station went silent on October 1, 2009, according to FCC records, but was resurrected in early 2010.

WFHT until January 2015 aired a nationally syndicated talk show lineup that includedNeal Boortz,Michael Savage,Mark Levin, andPhil Hendrie Mondays through Fridays, and specialty talk shows on the weekends. WFHT was also an affiliate of theTampa Bay Rays baseball team, the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team, and NFL and NCAA football games; the former talk station also featured local talk shows. In 2015, WFHT began broadcastingFlorida A&M Rattlers football games via the "Rattler Football Network".

From 2015 to 2020, the station broadcast anurban ACurban contemporary gospel format. This ended when the station was sold to Walco Enterprises and began simulcasting the other three Boss Hogg Radio stations owned by the company, reclaiming the WAVP call sign it had used for most of its history until the mid-2000s.
