WTPS is a sports radio formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Petersburg, Virginia, serving Metro Petersburg.[1] WTPS is owned and operated by Urban One. The station's studios and offices are located just north of Richmond proper on Emerywood Parkway[2] in Petersburg.[3]

The station has broadcast the sports programming of WXGI Richmond since Urban One's purchase of that station on May 1, 2017, in order to give WXGI a metro Richmond FM signal.[4]

Translator

On July 9, 2016, WTPS began relaying its signal on an FM translator to widen its broadcast area. The translator is fed by WCDX-HD2.[5]
