DC Radio: Old WMAL AM Towers Dropped In 30-Seconds


Five years ago a developer won the rights to 75 acres of prime Bethesda real estate plans to build up to 330 homes on the property, maxing out on a rare piece of open land that was home to four large radio towers once used by Cumulus' Talk station WMAL 630 AM

John Harris, vice president with Pennsylvania-based Toll Brothers, said his company plans a mix of town homes and single-family detached homes. The site’s zoning allows up to 50 percent of the new homes to be town homes.

This morning the no-longer-in-use towers came down and WTOP's Neil Augenstein caught the video....


Sports WSBN now occupies the 630 AM spot on the dial transmitting from a new site.

Cumulus arranged to relocate the transmitter site to a location also used by WSPZ 570 AM, owned by Red Zebra Broadcasting.
