WBAP (AM)

WBAP (820 AM) is a News/Talk radio station licensed to Fort Worth, Texas and serving the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. WBAP is a Clear-channel station, owned by Cumulus Media and broadcasting with 50,000 watts from a transmitter site in the northwest corner of Mansfield. Its nighttime signal can often be heard throughout the Southern, Central, and Midwestern states and Northern Mexico, while its daytime signal provides at least secondary coverage from Oklahoma City to Austin. The station's studios are located in the Victory Park district in Dallas just north of downtown. WBAP is one of the oldest radio stations in Texas, dating back to 1922, when stations in Texas were still getting call signs beginning with "W" instead of "K."
