WSKP (1180 kHz) is an AM radio station licensed to Hope Valley, Rhode Island. The station is owned by John Fuller's Red Wolf Broadcasting Corporation and airs an oldies radio format. WSKP operates as part of the "Kool Radio" simulcast, along with 990 WNTY in Southington, Connecticut (near Hartford), and formerly with 1270 WACM in Springfield, Massachusetts.

WSKP is a daytimer AM station. By day, it broadcasts at 1,800 watts and at 1,000 watts during critical hours. As 1180 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WHAM in Rochester, New York, WSKP must sign off the air at night. Programming can still be heard around the clock on the HD3 digital subchannel of 106.5 WBMW in Pawcatuck, Connecticut, as well as FM translators W282CB at 104.3 FM in Hope Valley and W283BW at 104.5 FM in New London, Connecticut.
