Post-Newsweek still had WTOP-TV then. Shortly afterward, the FCC's cross-ownership rule forced them to sell, or in this case, trade with the Detroit News' WWJ-TV. WTOP's calls stayed with radio, and the News came up with WDVM for channel 9; WWJ-TV became WDIV. After Gannett bought out the News, they changed it to the current WUSA. Tegna, created from Gannett's broadcast properties, is the current owner.

Gordon Peterson actually had a head full of hair. Maureen Buyan was actually young.

I thought you couldn't have the same call letters as an existing radio station or did that regulation not exist back then?

+chrismc410 As long as they were co-owned you could, there was a WTOP, WTOP-FM, and WTOP-TV, all owned by the Washington Post. The FM station was given to Howard University in 1971 and the call letters changed to WHUR-FM. Later in 1978 when the Post did a swap with the Detroit News for TV stations, channel 9 became WDVM . The WTOP call letters stayed with the AM station.
