WHPT (otherwise known as 102.5 "The Bone") is a Cox Radio station located in the Sarasota, Tampa Bay, and St. Petersburg Florida area, but can be heard as far south as Fort Myers and Naples, from its transmitter near SR 70, near the northeastern corner of Sarasota County. WHPT plays classic rock.

On January 8th, 2008 the station (and its parent company Cox Radio) made the news when shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge returned to the local airwaves after being fired from WXTB and Clear Channel Communications nearly four years ago. Bubba stated in a press release that the show would be cleaner and have a ten second delay. Bubba will also continue his afternoon show with Sirius Satellite Radio. Former morning show host Cowhead was then moved to the afternoon time slot.
