820 WBAP/DFW, Now With Frequency Modulation

• Cumulus News-Talk 820 WBAP/Dallas-Ft. Worth, boasting one of the largest radio signals in the U.S., will further expand its reach onto the FM band, effective tomorrow, Jan. 3, when it launches a simulcast on 93.3 KLIF-FM, replacing Hot AC Hot 93.3.

That same day, Cumulus DFW will add four veteran news pros to its team, (pictured, below, l-r): Dallas native Carla Marion joins WBAP as co-Anchor of the WBAP Morning News with Co-Anchors Hal Jay and Ernie Brown weekdays from 5-9am. Marion has more than 25 years of broadcast experience, including an earlier stint at WBAP.

James Parker also joins WBAP as afternoon host, weekdays from 2-5pm. Parker, also a native Texan, has worked on-air in New Orleans, Oklahoma, and most recently as a television personality in Tyler, TX.

Across the hall on 570 KLIF-AM, Laura Sadler of ESPN-TV joins News and Information Morning News as co-Anchor with Clayton Neville, and Gabrielle Taite joins the Cumulus DFW newsroom from an Athens, GA, television news station.

Dan Bennett, RVP, Cumulus Dallas/Fort Worth & Houston, said, “As we move into a critical election year, these talent moves and an FM frequency for WBAP speak to our commitment to spoken-word radio. We will carry our stations on a variety of signals and streaming to improve accessibility of this outstanding news and talk content to our listeners. 2024 will be a great year for News/Talk.”
