Thanks to the several people who have responded to me.  I was going to quote
the Washington Post article, and the apparent lack of accuracy, but Tom has
done it for me.  I have now listened to the WTOP and I must admit that it is
much better in just the past weekend than WRC or WMAL and you do not need to
listen to the other BS (singing reporters or discussions of flight
attendants).
