Radio Days

Next week, WTOP steps aside from 1500 AM and 107.7 FM and Washington Post Radio squats in their place.

We’ve learned of a few of the names who will be running NPR Pt. 2 the Post’s radio operation:

  • Leslie Bishop (formerly of NPR’s “Talk of the Nation”) will a producer in charge of radio programming.

  • Shani George (been with the Post since Sept. 2004 as a TV/Radio Producer and worked previous at Belo Broadcasting/Dallas Morning News’ DC bureau)

  • Kim Kingsley (two year Post employee, previously an editor for WTOP Radio) will be the assistant director of the Post’s Television and Radio Projects.

  • Erin Patton (recently college graduate who comes from a NPR affiliate in Ann Arbor, Michigan) wil be a producer responsible for developing radio programming for Washington Post Radio.

  • Tod Plotkin (an independent videographer who worked previously as an associate producer for the visual communication company RHED Pixel and as an independent videographer for the Apple Tree Institute) will be a producer responsible for developing radio programming for Washington Post Radio.

    The crew has been at the Post for a few weeks now, exhausting themselves with tons of meetings and test runs in the new fourth-floor studio.

    The Washington Times’ Dan Caterinicchia asks a very good question: “News leader Bonneville International’s WTOP will continue to air on 103.5 FM and 820 AM when Washington Post Radio debuts, and everyone is wondering the same thing: Will the two news giants from different media complement each other or further splinter the market?”
