Listeners will notice "a bold new imaging package integrated with WTOP's news reports, traffic, weather and more," according to a WTOP news release. "Anchored by a vibrant and memorable sonic logo, the comprehensive suite of musical themes gives a sleek, modern edge to the WTOP brand and sets it firmly in line with today’s radio, media and tech landscape." WTOP collaborated with Seattle-based ReelWorld to develop "the unmistakable new sound" along with ReelWorld's co-founder Erik Huber. The package consists of 10 unique themes, covering all essential station benchmarks from top-of-hour to traffic, business, sports, breaking news, and more.

I really like it. It's very modern and has a great ID. I think it would great on TV too.

Surprised ReelWorld hasn't been handed any TV work. This is great stuff, even if it displaces some Non-Stop classics.

This is amazing. I loved First News, but this is awesome. I love how with the Full Mix for the Top of the Hour, I heard something similar to claps, and burst out laughing, thinking C Clarity had popped up! Lol

I would love to see this as a TV News Theme too.

It's a nice theme, but it lacks a lot of the metropolitan melody of, say, WCBS's Man Made rebrand. I suppose with WTOP in Washington it doesn't need that same flair - this package does carry a bit more authority to it.

Wow. This sounds like NEWS. A package that makes me wanna tune in to WTOP to get my news. If only more packages were like this. A bravo and an encore to ReelWorld is deserved.

KRLD's Impact News is like that.

I think it can work as a TV theme, it just needs a good graphic package to match it. I love the sounders, it has a capitol feel, a DC sound if I may say.

I guess I'm in the minority but it's too cold sounding for my taste. The drums are too intense - too hard hitting to make an intentional pun-  and you don't get the signature upfront. But then I didn't care much for First News either!
