Bonneville AM station WTOP — the latest AM to use those letters, anyway — is now WBQH.
That call sign change in the Washington area is just one among the latest batch of changes approved by the FCC Media Bureau, shown below.
The list covers the period June 18 to July 28.
(Bonneville retains the legacy call letters on its FM outlet in the nation’s capital and uses them across several platforms. Meanwhile this AM call sign change is just the latest in a series involving those famous letters. The call sign for six decades was used on the frequency that is now Bonneville’s WFED, Federal News Radio, at 1500 kHz. When Bonneville expanded and migrated its successful news format to the FM dial at 103.5 some years back, it brought along the WTOP letters with it, supplanting WGMS.
The company has more recently used the WTOP letters for the 1050 channel, more than once; but it now is airing a leased Mexican format, “La Mera Mera 1050 AM.” Bonneville meantime retains WTOP(FM) and that successful news brand.)
