TV station in Louisville, Cosmos successfully petitioned the FCC to transition WSRZ to WAVE in March 1984. There was no significant change in format with the name change. The former WSRZ call letters were then moved to former CHR station in Sarasota in late 1986. In 1988, Susquehanna Radio Corporation, part of conglomerate Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff purchased WAVE and changed the calls to WHVE. Initially the new ownership maintained the existing format, but with more emphasis on its already existing jazz programming. Eventually the station began updating its sound with the introduction of a contemporary jazz playlist with artists like David Benoit, Anita Baker, The Rippingtons, Lee Ritenour, Larry Carlton, Grover Washington, Jr., David Sanborn, and Kenny G. For the last two years that Susquehanna owned the station, it maintained a Smooth Jazz format. The Point In 1991, "Bud" Lowell Paxson of Paxson Communications (now ION Media Networks) negotiated the sale of WHPT from Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff and, after publicity stunt that featured a week's worth of playing Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven over and over again, changed the station's call letters from WHVE to WHPT, renamed the station to "The Point 102.5" and changed the format to Adult Album Alternative, or AAA. Initially, The Point 102.5 followed a fairly conservative AAA path, combining adult-oriented artists like Bonnie Raitt, Dire Straits, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Steve Winwood, and Steely Dan. Later, taking cues from extensive music testing and a work that was presaging a new alternative sound, the station began mixing traditional favorites with more contemporary artists such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Cranberries, R.E.M., Spin Doctors and U2. The station also became known for its "New Music File" which featured new artists that were not receiving airplay on other stations, but were nonetheless consistent with the other music being played on the station. Notable adds to the "New Music File" that first saw airplay on The Point that later went on much larger national acclaim were Soul Asylum, The Crash Test Dummies, 4 Non Blondes, Tori Amos, Chris Duarte, Counting Crows, and Edwin McCain. The Bone In 1997, WHPT was sold by Paxson Communications to Clear Channel Communications (now IHeartMedia). Due to ownership limits, Clear Channel sold the station to Cox in 2001. In 2002, WHPT flipped to classic rock and adopted the branding "102.5 The Bone." By September 2010, WHPT tweaked its classic rock format in a younger hard rock
