WTMP (1150 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Egypt Lake, Florida, and serving the Tampa Bay area, airing a classic hits radio format. The station is owned by Neal Ardman of NIA Broadcasting, Inc. Its studios are on Howard Avenue in West Tampa.

By day, WTMP is powered at 10,000 watts. To protect other stations on 1150 AM from interference at night, it greatly reduces power to 500 watts. WTNP uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array, from its transmitter location on Cavacade Drive in Egypt Lake.[2] Programming is also heard on two FM translators: W271DL on 102.1 MHz in Egypt Lake and W225CQ on 92.9 MHz in Tampa.[3]
