Tampa Radio: WHPT's Mike Calta No Longer A 'Cowhead'

Mike Calta

Mike Calta doesn't want to be known as “Cowhead” anymore, according to tbo.com.

The Tampa Bay area radio host, who has used the on-air moniker since 1992, is dropping the name and changing his show's title from “The Cowhead Show” to “The Mike Calta Show.”

The renamed show will continue to air weekdays from 3 to 7 p.m. on WHPT 102.5 FM The Bone.

“I've been using this name since my early days at The Power Pig where Cowhead fit in with Boner, Big Woody, Stretch Marks, Booger, and many other ridiculous radio monikers. But at 42 years old I think it is time to evolve ... The show will continue to be as entertaining and sophomoric as it ever was, it will just now be known by a name that will make it easier to embarrass my children at school!,” Calta said in a news release announcing the change.
