161.73 is a Fox news frequency.  It used to be shared by WTTG-TV, WASH Radio
and Baltimore's WCBM Radio when they were all owned by Metromedia in the
1970s. (I was working for WASH at the time).  Then, and I believe now, it
was used by the assignment desks for all three stations, (primarily by
WTTG), and for Walt Starling's traffic reports on WASH.  If I remember
correctly the call for WTTG/WASH was KGI-343 and WCBM was KRN-705.  (It's
amazing what the mind remembers)!  I think the Fox folks still use KGI-343.
