WHAP
WHAP is a country music formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Hopewell, Virginia, serving Petersburg, Virginia. WHAP is owned by Bruce D. Gee and Davie E. Gee, through licensee Gee Communications, Inc.
The station first signed on the air on January 16, 1949, as WHAP. It was originally licensed to the Hopewell Broadcasting Company and served as the primary local radio outlet for Hopewell and surrounding Prince George County. The call letters were chosen to represent "Hopewell And Petersburg".
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, WHAP maintained a full-service middle-of-the-road and adult contemporary format, often emphasizing local news and high school sports. In 1988, the station was acquired by Gee Communications, Inc., owned by Bruce and David Gee, who transitioned the station to a country music format branded as "The Point".
In the early 2010s, the station briefly shifted to a sports talk format as an affiliate of Fox Sports Radio, branded as "Fox Sports 1340," before eventually returning to its country roots. As of 2025, the station continues to operate from its studio location in Hopewell, simulcasting its programming on FM translator W245CU at 96.9 MHz.
