From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WHOO is the callsign for 1080 WHOO - Orlando's ESPN, 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. It broadcasts from a 27 kW transmitter in Winter Park, Florida and a 19 kW transmitter in Kissimmee, but both are drastically reduced in power in the evening (to 2 kW and 190W, respectively).
WHOO is the Orlando area affiliate for ESPN Radio. They are also the local affiliate for Orlando Magic, Tampa Bay Devil Rays and Florida Seals games (split with sister station 1190 WAMT), as well as NASCAR NEXTEL Cup races.

[edit] ESPN Radio
ESPN Radio is a national sports radio network based in the United States. It was launched on January 1, 1992 under the original banner of "SportsRadio ESPN." ESPN Radio is located at ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut. The network airs a regular schedule of daily and weekly programming as well as live coverage of Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association, Bowl Championship Series, and National Invitation Tournament games. As of 2006, like ESPN, ESPN Radio now has what is called ESPN Radio Insider. ESPN Radio is broadcast to subscribers of both Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio.
ESPN Radio currently has five company-owned stations in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, and Pittsburgh. Most other markets have ESPN Radio affiliates, whether they be part-time or have their entire format dedicated to ESPN Radio. ESPN Radio is currently an official part of the ABC Radio network, though the Walt Disney Company is not including the ESPN Radio network or the Radio Disney network in the pending sale of ABC Radio to Citadel Broadcasting.
