This is a slow-motion, rolling format change. Here's how it's playing 
out: The "3WT" talk format is slowly disappearing over the next month or 
so, and will be gone for good by the end of September.

On WWWT 1500 and WWWB 820, the former 3WT morning show disappeared last 
week, replaced by the simulcast of WFED 1050's morning show. The rest of 
the day still has the syndicated talk lineup that was on 3WT, and 
there's still Nationals baseball in the evenings.

On WWWT-FM 107.7, the former 3WT morning show was replaced by a 
simulcast of WTOP-FM 103.5's morning news. The rest of the day still has 
the 3WT talk lineup, followed by Nats baseball at night.

Over the next few weeks, the 3WT talk shows will continue to disappear, 
being replaced by WFED content on 1500/820 and by WTOP content on 107.7. 
By mid-September, 1500/820 will be full-time Federal News Radio and 
107.7 will be full-time WTOP news...EXCEPT at night, when those three 
frequencies will continue to carry the Nats until the end of their 
season. (No worries about post-season baseball there this year!)

Once 1500/820 become full-time Federal News Radio, 1500 will take the 
WFED calls and the current WFED 1050 will be sold.
