I have not listened yet, but I assume WTOP and WNEW are all over this. Has WNEW started simulcasting with any of their sister stations?

WNEW is being simulcast on:

1580 WNEW-AM (although the stream sounds like an FM or AM receiver)
106.7 WJFK-FM

I wonder if the rest of the CBS stations will join WNEW as the overnight hours approach?

DCRTV reports WTOP is simul on 1500 AM their former home.

I've checked in on WJFK-FM a few times today and I haven't heard them simulcast WNEW. Not saying that they weren't simulcasting at some point, but at least in the early afternoon they were separate, and they are separate again now. WJFK-FM seems to be mostly doing its own thing and telling people who want storm coverage to check out WNEW.

1500 is indeed carrying WTOP.

WPGC is simulcasting WUSA-TV 9, DC's Gannett-owned CBS affiliate.

WIAD is running updates from WNEW every half hour but it's not a full simulcast.

When I posted at 3:15 pm they were doing a simulcast. Maybe that was just for a limited time. I only listened for about 10 minutes.

I live in the Carolinas and am visiting family in Northern Virginia, being a radio nerd I googled News stations in the area once I knew this storm was going to be big. WTOP & WNEW have been all over coverage. I heard interviews with Mayors, power companies, Gov's, health officials, reporters all over the place, WOW.

Being a radio nerd I've been listening for a good amount of time today especially since the power has been out. Being an out of towner, coming from a market where there is NOTHING in terms of local coverage during storms, I'm extremely jealous.

From a Greensboro, North Carolina native, well done D.C., you've got two great radio stations.

NYC has all their news outlets on the storm.
