Washington Post Radio Is On The Air

Washington Post Radio, the new joint venture between the Post (which will program the station) and Bonneville Communications (who owns the two stations Washington Post Radio will be broadcast on, WTWP-1500 and 107.7), is on the air.

Audio of the first half-hour of the stations' new format (this morning, March 30th, from 5:30 to 6 A.M.) is online and can be found at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/audio/2006/03/30/AU2006033000331.html. The host of that half-hour was veteran Washington radio newsman Mike Maus, who previously worked at WTOP, which until recently broadcast on 1500 and 107.7.

By the way, it's ironic that 1500 is one of the frequencies for Washington Post Radio. At one time, the then-WTOP-1500 was once owned by the Washington Post.

Before that CBS owned it.

I've listened some but I'm not hooked. I don't really feel like I know what's going on after I get where I'm going. It's sort of interesting but NPR's interviews seem to have more depth and the presentation is better. It sounds like mostly they want to promote the next day's paper. It's not bad but it's not compelling listening.
