WSOL (or V-101.5) is a commercial Urban Adult Contemporary radio station in Jacksonville, Florida broadcasting on 101.5 MHz. The station is owned and operated by Clear Channel Broadcasting.

WSOL has been in its current format since the late 1990s, playing a variety (thus the "V"-brand) Old School/Soul and current R&B music. It is home to the nationally syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show. It's only other competitor is its own sister station, Urban WJBT.

WSOL was also the original call letter home of Rhythmic Contemporary WHJX during the late 1980s to the mid 1990s, when it was known as "Hot 101.5." When that came under common owership with WJBT, 101.5 tilted the format from rhythmic (urban crossover) to the current one and changed its name, calls and branding to counter compete.

Before 1989 and a facility and power upgrade, the station operated as a lower powered station serving Brunswick Ga called WPIQ.
