WTOP/1050 radio will be redubbed as WZAA, effective with the station's Wednesday switchover to the Air America liberal radio format. 1050 had aired a simulcast of WTOP/103.5's all-news programming.
Effective at midnight, the Bonneville-owned WZAA will be operated by Air America Media under a local marketing agreement, bringing hosts including Lionel and Montel Williams to the Washington, D.C. airwaves. The station will be streamed via AirAmericaWashington.com.
The official schedule for the new WZAA features Lionel, Williams, Rachel Maddow and a new program called "Live In Washington With Jack Rice." Regardless of the format change, sports broadcasts will remain intact including the full season of D.C. United games.
