Dimitri Sotis, the WTOP evening anchor who spent two decades in the daypart, died this weekend after being found unresponsive at his home.
“It is with the utmost sadness and shock that I write this email to let you all know our friend and coworker, Dimitri Sotis, has passed away,” said WTOP General Manager Joel Oxley wrote to employees in an email on Sunday.
Sotis helmed the 7-11:30 PM anchor chair for the venerable all-news station, where he worked since 1999. He previously worked at the UPI Radio Network in the mid-90s after graduating from Ball State University. He also spent time at WMAL in Washington D.C. before joining WTOP.
The station will air a one-hour tribute special to Sotis on Monday evening at 7 PM ET.
Dimitri Sotis was 55 years old.
