Back in the eighties WHP FM changed call letters to, I think, 
WXBB.  After a short time they changed back to WHP.  Then in 
1990 or 1991 when the station was purchased by Dame Media the 
call letters were changed to WRVV and became "The River" 
which they still are.

Wonder why so many three letter stations began with "WH."  
WHA, WHB, WHK, WHN, WHO, WHP.  A few with "WI" too, WIL, WIP 
and WIS.
