Nope, 1500 is still the government-news formatted WFED "Federal News 
Radio".  You're possibly thinking of the former "3WT", which took over 
after Washington Post Radio died out.  It wasn't all conservative - 
among the hosts on its schedule was Jones/Dial Global midday liberal 
host Stephanie Miller.

The former home of WFED, 1050/Silver Spring MD, is - oddly enough - the 
new keeper of the WTOP(AM) calls, simulcasting 103.5.  But all the 
Bonneville AMs are shuttling or simulcasting various sports play-by-play 
among them.
