WTHI-FM (99.9 FM; "HI-99") is a radio station running a country music format in Terre Haute, Indiana. The station's studios and broadcast tower are located along Ohio Street in downtown Terre Haute. The station is owned by Emmis Communications.

WTHI-FM has led the Terre Haute market ratings for over twenty years. In 2007, the station celebrated 25 years in the country format. Over the years, WTHI has raised more than $1,000,000 for the kids at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

WTHI-FM's current studio building, which is shared with sister station WWVR and former sister station WTHI-TV (which was co-owned with WTHI-FM from 1954 to 2005), will be demolished in 2012 to accommodate parking for a new office building to be constructed nearby.[1] The building was constructed as a garment factory in 1906, but has housed WTHI-FM and WTHI-TV since 1954.[2] WTHI-FM and WWVR will move into the new office building;[1] this will completely separate the station from WTHI-TV,[2] which will move to another location.[1]
