WPOI-FM, known as "101.5 The Point", is an FM radio station in Tampa, Florida playing an adult hits format with a playlist from the late 1970s to 1999. Prior to October 2007, they played music from the 1980s as well as the late 1970s and the early 1990s. This is why its tagline is: "The best of the '80s and more".

Jeff Callahan occasionally serves as the station's afternoon drive DJ.

Criticism

The station has been criticized for playing the same music over and over with very little variety. WPOI's playlist primarily consists of well-known songs that were former No. 1 hits on the Billboard Top 100, which puts strict limits on the variety of songs it can play.

The station also comes under scrutiny for use of the positioner "The NEW 101.5 The Point", despite the station existing in the Tampa market for at least eight years.
