Wash DC DU-ers---WTOP changing frequencies today at noon!

[soothsayer]

Washington Post channel to take over 1500 and 107.7. WTOP will be relegated to 103.5. WTOP says you can get it inside your office now, but forget picking up the signal in PA or elsewhere like you used to be able to when driving back from somewhere far away.

1. Meanwhile

The classical station that was on 103.5 (WGMS?) has taken over Z 104.1. I was very confused when I got into my car yesterday evening.

2. Yeah, no kidding! It's all part of Bonneville's reshuffling. Btw,

the Wash Post channel won't do traffic and weather, leaving that to WTOP instead.

WTOP will remain on 1500/107.7 for awhile, so many folks won't notice yet.
