On September 2, 2011, after a 57-year run, WTMP's legacy as an R&B outlet came to an abrupt end at 3 PM as Davidson Media Group took over operation of the station under a [[local marketing agreement]] from Tama, who filed for bankruptcy and placed the station in court-ordered receivership. Davidson then flipped the combo to a Spanish tropical format. All of the syndicated shows and airstaff were already pink-slipped a day before the flip.<ref>[http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/media/content/wtmp-am-may-end-57-year-history-voice-tampas-black-community-6-pm-friday "WTMP-AM may end 57-year history as voice of Tampa's black community at 6 p.m. Friday"] from Tampabay.com (September 1, 2011)</ref>
