You'd think WTOP's value came from covering every pothole in D.C., but the real draw was its all-news format that blanketed the Beltway, Maryland suburbs, and Northern Virginia with traffic and weather updates every ten minutes. Skeptics might say any station could do that, but WTOP's investment in 24/7 local reporters and live chopper traffic reports gave commuters an edge they couldn't get from cookie-cutter FM hits.
