About WTOP.com:
WTOP-FM (103.5 FM) – recognized as “WTOP Radio” and “WTOP News” – stands as a dynamic commercial all-news radio broadcaster, holding an official license to cater to the vibrant hub of Washington, D.C. The proprietorship of this radio marvel lies in the capable hands of Hubbard Broadcasting, and its auditory reach blankets the entirety of the Washington metropolitan expanse. This influence stretches even further, propelled by the strategic deployment of two repeater stations: WTLP (103.9 FM) nestled in the scenic embrace of Braddock Heights, Maryland, and WWWT-FM (107.7) serving Manassas, Virginia.
Nestled along Wisconsin Avenue, in the heart of the Chevy Chase suburb of Washington D.C., lie the distinguished WTOP-FM studios, referred to on-air as the “WTOP Glass-Enclosed Nerve Center”. Meanwhile, the very pulse of the station, its transmitter, is located within the sprawling grounds of the American University campus. The station is not limited to conventional airwaves, branching out into the digital realm with the provision of three HD Radio channels, and a strong online presence.
In the evolutionary tale of broadcasting, WTOP-FM takes up the mantle from its forebearer, the original WTOP, an AM station occupying the frequency of 1500 kHz. This moniker, WTOP, graced the airwaves from 1943 until 2006, having embraced the captivating allure of an all-news format back in the vernal days of March 1969.
