Between November 1995 and December 1996, Warner Wolf was named the guest host of the Tony Kornheiser Show on Thursdays until he moved to New York City as a sports anchor on WCBS-TV.
[4] Tony's Mailbag concluded the show on ESPN Radio with Kornheiser reading emails from his listeners.
[5] In late 2001, Kornheiser decided to leave the microphones on when his show went to a commercial break, as a treat to his internet radio listeners.
[6] After completing the 2006 season on ESPN's Monday Night Football, Kornheiser considered offers from WTEM and WTWP to return to the Washington, D.C., area radio airwaves.
[9][failed verification] The deciding factor for Kornheiser to join WTWP was his desire to work for a station affiliated with The Washington Post, where he had been since 1979.
However, on August 11, 2008, because of the format change, WWWT was canceled and Bonneville stated it would no longer air The Tony Kornheiser Show.
Previously, between May 27, 2011, and March 20, 2015, the show had to wait 24 hours to distribute the podcast due to contract restrictions,[17] which was ridiculed by Kornheiser's loyal listeners, and was a frequent joke on his program.
[19] Kornheiser said in a statement, “I have loved every minute on the radio at WTEM, but I felt it was time to pursue a new and appealing challenge.
I don’t know what is being written or what is being said, but the truth of the matter is, I walked away with two years left on a contract, which at my age is so stupid and an indefensible position.
[22] The podcast-only show is produced in partnership with sports talent agency IMG and on-demand audio company DGital Media.
