WBAP has announced that the station will add an FM simulcast on 93.3 KLIF-FM in the Metroplex Wednesday.
“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,” said Cumulus Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Vice President Dan Bennett. “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.”
The KLIF-FM signal is a 50,000-watt, class C2 station that covers the overwhelming majority of the Dallas/Fort Worth market.
In addition to a new FM simulcast, the station has also officially announced the addition of Carla Marion to co-anchor WBAP’s Morning News alongside Haly Jay and Ernie Brown, which Barrett News Media first reported in December.
Additionally, James Parker has joined WBAP as afternoon drive host, helming a program from 2-5 PM. Parker is a native Texan who has spent time working in New Orleans, and most recently in Tyler, Texas in local television. The timeslot was previously hosted by Rick Roberts, who exited the station in August.
Finally, Cumulus has announced Laura Sadler will join 570 KLIF for DFW’s Morning News alongside Clayton Neville and Gabrielle Taite. Sadler previously worked as a freelance sports journalist. Taite joins the station after a stop in Athens, Georiga working in local television.
