WTPT is an Active Rock station licensed to Forest City, North Carolina and serving the Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina regions, including Greenville, Spartanburg, and Asheville, North Carolina. The Entercom outlet is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to broadcast at 93.3 MHz with an ERP of 93 kW. The station goes by the name 93.3 The Planet Rocks.

The station broadcasts from Hogback Mountain in Spartanburg, South Carolina with sister station WSPA-FM, with studios in Greenville. However, it is licensed to Forest City, North Carolina.

93.3, then known as WBBO-FM and WBBO-AM 780 ("We Build Business Opportunities"), signed on September 10, 1947 in Forest City, North Carolina. The station was owned by the Anderson family, which also owned the "Forest City Courier" newspaper and WPNF-AM in nearby Brevard, North Carolina. Both stations simulcasted with each other on a full-time basis until the late 60s. WBBO-FM featured a variety of formats throughout the next decade, including country and adult contemporary. In 1988, after building a tower on Tryon Peak near Columbus, North Carolina to improve its signal range, WBBO switched to a satellite smooth jazz format, distributed from St. Paul, Minnesota, and began calling itself "The Breeze".
