Allbritton Communications Company took over production for the show's run on WJLA (2004–2013)[1] Its regular broadcast time was switched from Saturday evenings (as also had been the practice with Agronsky & Co.) to Sunday mornings, although the show maintained a Saturday evening presence after the switch to WJLA with broadcasts on NewsChannel 8, a Washington D.C. area local news cable television channel, briefly known as TBD TV, at the same time the show switched to WJLA.
[4] In the Washington, D.C., area, Inside Washington was broadcast on WETA on Friday nights at 8:30 PM (this broadcast was simulcast on the WETA World PBS cable television channel), on TBD TV on Saturday nights at 7:00 PM, and on Sunday mornings at 9:00 AM on WJLA.
[3] The tone of Inside Washington, although somewhat more opinionated[5][6] than under Agronsky's stewardship, nonetheless was very different from that of many "talking head" shows that followed, including The McLaughlin Group, one of its major competitors.
King, Charles Krauthammer, Mark Shields, Evan Thomas, and Nina Totenberg, four of whom appeared on each show.
The theme song for Inside Washington was "Procession of the Nobles" from the ballet Mlada by the Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.
