WTOP Makes The Switch To ABC News Radio
WTOP has officially made the switch from CBS News to ABC News for its top-of-the-hour newscasts ahead of CBS News Radio’s planned shutdown later this month.
WTOP made the change at 7 p.m. Tuesday. The move comes just weeks before CBS News Radio is set to cease operations on May 22, ending nearly a century of radio news distribution under the CBS brand.
CBS announced earlier this year that it would shut down CBS News Radio as part of a broader restructuring of its audio operations. Since then, affiliates around the country have been looking for replacement network providers. WTOP appears to have made the transition quietly, with no on-air announcement about the change.
