The Glass-Enclosed Nerve Center is moving, and everything must go.
The Hubbard Broadcasting-owned WTOP is leaving D.C. for Maryland in early February, and the region鈥檚 leading 24/7 news-radio station is putting everything in its Idaho Avenue NW studio up for bid with Rasmus Auctions, in partnership with OLS.
It is one of two major office liquidations upcoming, as Tegna (NYSE: TGNA) is also putting hundreds of items up for auction with Rasmus ahead of its intra-Tysons move.
The WTOP auction, which closes Feb. 5 with removal that same week, includes TVs, monitors, encoders, amplifiers, digital scan converters, switches, live caller stations, line and newsroom mixers, multistudio talk show systems, power supplies, video processors and splitters, voice processors, microphones and stands, and at least seven “on air” signs. And four toasters.
The auction description promises a 鈥渃omplete liquidation of its existing studio, editing, broadcast and technical assets.鈥�
WTOP has called 3400鈥�
