  • Henry Tenenbaum He still in San Francisco Today.

  • @EricEbac22 Hate to say it but Washington Post(Post Newsweek Stations) should of kept this station and should be the owner of WUSA 9

  • Working the porno stache

  • The reason why WTOP had to change their call letters to WDVM was because the FCC didn't allow the new owner (The Evening News Association) to keep the same letters that Post-Newsweek Stations had given the station nearly 25 years earlier.

  • Henry Tenenbaum's signoff underscores just how unweildy those call letters were... no wonder they didn't last too long.
