WHBO (1040 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Pinellas Park, Florida, and serving the Tampa Bay area.
[3] But because AM 1040 is a clear channel frequency reserved for WHO Des Moines, WHBO must reduce power at night and switch to a directional antenna.
WWBA aired conservative and libertarian talk shows such as those hosted by Mark Larsen, Dro Silva, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage, Laura Ingraham and Kim Komando.
While its competitors carried syndicated talk shows most of the day, WHBO had a large number of local hosts.
At 50,000 daytime watts, the 820 AM frequency is one of the state's most powerful radio signals that serves listeners on Florida's entire west coast.
Genesis Communications announced on June 22, 2012, that WHBO would drop ESPN on October 1, 2012, in favor of NBC Sports Radio.
Weekday syndicated programming included Jim Rome, Clay Travis, Amani Toomer and Rich Eisen.
WHBO was the Tampa Bay affiliate of the Florida State University football and men's basketball radio networks.
During the 2006 NFL season, the station aired the "Monday Morning Quarterback" show on Mondays from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM with John Kaleo, which focused on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, NCAA football around the state of Florida, and local high school football games of interest.
The station began carrying the syndicated Bubba the Love Sponge show on weekday mornings on February 12, 2019, while keeping its sports schedule the rest of the day.
