WHOO is the callsign for Sports Talk 1080 the Team, an AM sports radio station in Orlando, Florida, United States. It broadcasts at a medium-wave frequency of 1080 kHz. It is owned by Genesis Communications.
WHOO is the Orlando area affiliate for NBC Sports Radio. The station was fully switched over on October 1, 2012, and was an affiliate of ESPN Radio prior to then. The station broadcasts three local sports talk shows, The David Baumann Show (6am-9am weekdays), The Whitney Johnson Experience (noon-3pm weekdays) and Tuck and O'Neill (3pm-7pm weekdays), which is hosted by Jerry O'Neill and Mike Tuck. The Dan Patrick Show is also in the programming mix and airs from 9am-noon weekdays.
1080 The Team is also the local affiliate for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Marlins, and Miami Hurricanes football. It is also the local affiliate of Westwood One's NFL coverage, presenting normal Sunday games, Thursday Night Football, and Monday Night Football.
The WHOO calls were used on AM 990 in Orlando, which is now WDYZ, from 1947 to 1987 and then again from 1988 to 2001.
AM 1080 began operations in 1965 as 5,000-watt daytimer, WFIV, "the mighty five", with a Country format, with a brief stint in the 90's as Big-band. The Country format continued until 1995, when WFIV switched to a Spanish popular music format as "Radio Exitos." WFIV then went to a Christian talk format as "Genesis 1080" in 2000. The following year, the WHOO calls moved to 1080 from 990, along with AM 990's adult standards music format, followed by a change to the current sports format in 2002.
