Air America Media has reached a local marketing agreement to lease air time for programming on WTOP/1050 AM radio. The station, now serving primarily as a simulcast feed of WTOP/103.5 FM, will be rebranded later this month for a relaunch.
Liberal radio programming from Air America has been absent from the Washington, D.C. airwaves since late last year when former AA affiliate WWRC/1260 was switched to a brokered financial news/talk format.
WTOP/1050's sports broadcasts, primarily D.C. United soccer games and spillovers from WFED/1500, will remain part of the station lineup. With a continued low power at night though, either Bonneville or Air America will have to continue providing web stream links to AM 1050.
