What year did WASH FM officially make the transition to the AC format? I know it was sometime in the '70s, but couldn't find which year specifically. Didn't they also try a brief stint as top-40 at some point in the '80s? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Much thanks for the info, Huff. I appreciate it. Do you recall which year WASH started their adult contemporary format the first time around?
PD Bill Tanner evolved WASH from AC toward CHR during late '83 (probably close to what would be Hot AC today)

Soon after Tanner's resignation in January 1985 the station steered back to AC.
Wonder why the guy from Q107 in the article would even mention WPGC ?? I am pretty sure WPGC, at least 95.5 anyway had become WCLY "Classy 95" sometime in 1982, maybe early 1983 sporting a very light AC format which DC would end up having three of those at one point between WASH, WCLY and 94.7 WLTT.
