The outlet is dropping its simulcast of Federal News Radio,
which remains on WFED1500 AM and at
federalnewsradio.com. The 820 signal will keep the WWFD call and continue to
carry sports events, including the Capitals, Wizards, and Ravens, plus weekend
paid programming, according to DCRTV.
The Gamut will also be heard on the HD Radio digital FM
subchannels of all-newser WTOP's 103.5 and 107.7 signals.
The Gamut is described as a cross-section of music genres
and features an array of recorded music types that span from pre-World War II
to present day. The sampling of artists includes Boney M, Doris Day, Devo, Mumford
And Sons, Scissor Sister, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash.
"Our hope is that by being on 820 AM listeners will
sample The Gamut and then want to listen on our HD signal at 103.5-3 as
well," says Joel Oxley, who heads Hubbard's DC radio cluster.
The format boasts an extensive 10,000 song library from WTOP
engineer Dave Kolesar. Sam Brown is consulting.
