News/Talk 820 WBAP live

News/Talk 820 WBAP is the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex's news and talk station. It broadcasts on 820 AM, is licensed to Fort Worth and is also heard on FM 93.3, with the slogan "Dallas-Ft. Worth's News & Talk". The station is owned by Cumulus Media, and on this page you can listen to WBAP live online, free. The online stream is offered to listeners inside the United States; outside the country it may not play because of rights restrictions.

News and talk

WBAP airs news and talk with Fox News Radio, Westwood One, Compass Media Networks and The Weather Channel, and a local news and weather partnership with WFAA.

A clear-channel giant

WBAP is a Class A clear-channel station with a non-directional antenna — one of two in the Metroplex, along with KRLD. Its nighttime signal can often be heard throughout the Southern, Central and Midwestern states and Northern Mexico, and by day it reaches from Oklahoma City to Austin.

A "W" in Texas

WBAP signed on on May 2, 1922, and is one of the oldest radio stations in Texas — from the days when Texas stations still received call signs starting with "W". The letters were assigned in sequence; the backronym "We Bring A Program" came later.

Sister stations

In Dallas–Fort Worth, Cumulus also owns KLIF, KPLX, KSCS, KTCK, KTCK-FM and WBAP-FM.

DFW talk, anywhere

Press play and WBAP starts in seconds — on I-30, at work or far from Texas.
