WDUV (105.5 FM "The Dove") is a commercial radio station licensed to New Port Richey, Florida and serving the Tampa Bay Area.
Owned by Cox Radio, the station broadcasts a soft adult contemporary format, switching to all-Christmas music for much of November and December.
Since the early 2000s, the station's music mix has evolved from an "easy listening" format featuring a sprinkling of "adult standards" artists such as Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, and Nat "King" Cole.
Artists frequently heard on the station include Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Whitney Houston, Billy Joel, Kool and the Gang, Fleetwood Mac, Phil Collins, Madonna, Hall & Oates, Michael Jackson, and The Eagles.
With the purge of the "adult standards" artists from the station's playlist and the addition of some more recent and more upbeat songs, the smooth jazz instrumentals were also dropped.
[6] WDUV's success prompted owner Cox Radio to put the same format on multiple of its other FM stations, some notable examples being WFEZ in Miami and WEZI in Jacksonville.
WDUV's popular morning show, which airs from 6 to 10 a.m., was hosted by veteran radio personality Dick Ring until he left the station on April 27, 2012.
