WTWP/WTWP-FM a radio station in Washington, D.C., began operation on March 30, 2006 as Washington Post Radio. WTWP broadcasts on the mediumwave AM band on 1500 kHz from just outside the District line in Wheaton, Maryland, FM 107.7 MHz from Warrenton, Virginia, and low-power W282BA FM 104.3 MHz from Leesburg, Virginia, all of which are former frequencies of WTOP (now on 103.5 FM and 820 AM).

WTWP provides news and commentary in a long-form style similar to that of National Public Radio, but on a commercial station staffed and programmed jointly by the Washington Post and sister station WTOP. From 8 PM to 5 AM ET, the station is programmed as a general interest talk radio station, featuring hosts such as Clark Howard, Larry King and Jim Bohannon. On weekends, WTWP rebroadcasts programs produced by Radio Netherlands.

The Tony Kornheiser Show, hosted by Post columnist, host of ESPN's Pardon the Interruption, and Monday Night Football analyst Tony Kornheiser, moved to WTWP on February 20, 2007. [1] The program airs weekday mornings.

WTWP is a member of the CBS Radio Network and retransmits the CBS shows Face the Nation and 60 Minutes.

WTWP is the flagship radio station for Washington Nationals baseball and The George Washington University men's basketball. WTWP also serves as an affiliate station for Navy football.

The AM station transmits with a power of 50 kilowatts with a nighttime signal oriented north-south to avoid interference with KSTP-AM in St. Paul, Minnesota. This signal can be heard reliably on the East Coast of North America and is often heard by radio enthusiasts in Europe.

All times U.S. Eastern Time

A P. D. Q. Bach album is presented as a broadcast from the fictional "WTWP Classical Talkity-Talk Radio," where the letters stand for "Wall To Wall Pachelbel." [2] It predates and has no connection to the stations discussed here.
