A big day for us here at @abcaudio as we welcome back a man who knows Washington DC and radio better than anybody. An incredible talent and friend. @stevenportnoy welcome home to ABC News!

@LawCrimeNetwork Real basic question: why is this case being tried in Arlington, Virginia.

[David R. Alpert @DaveAlpert]

@sfutterman WHAT did you hear, Steve?

[David R. Alpert @DaveAlpert]

@littlebabykates All the best. Stat well.

[David R. Alpert @DaveAlpert]

@ABC7Brandi Let’s just say you’re doing better than I am.

[David R. Alpert @DaveAlpert]

@ABC7Brandi are you okay?

[David R. Alpert @DaveAlpert]

@KTLAMorningNews Megan Telles sounds so muffled this morning I can understand only about half of what she is saying. The guy in her sound bite at 8:30 - he was also wearing a mask - was much crisper and more intelligible than Megan’s audio. What a waste of airtime.

@Newzysteph nice work in Newport Beach this afternoon, Steph

Speaking to reporters before departing the @WhiteHouse for Norfolk, @POTUS says he’s thinking about imposing a quarantine for #coronavirus hot spot locations, such as NYC.

[Steve Futterman @sfutterman]

I covered almost every part of #Kobe Bryant’s career. I was at his first game, his last game, all five clinching NBA championship games, two gold medal Olympic games in Beijing and London, his case in Eagle, Colorado. I wish I wasn’t covering his dead. #RIPMamba

@RadioRewinder I worked with Jay when WKTU became WXRK (until Howard Stern!)

[David R. Alpert @DaveAlpert]

@HowardBragman Happy New Year, Howard! Have you made it to Gino’s East yet?

[David R. Alpert @DaveAlpert]

@edokeefe @WTOP @CBSNewsRadio @CBSNews Wow. Wonder where ABC ends up. And what this cost CBS to get ‘me back. When they switched just under 2 yes ago, ABC apparently lured them with commitment of substantially fewer units.

[Ed O'Keefe @edokeefe]

As of this hour, @WTOP -- the most essential radio station in Washington and one of the most powerful in the USA -- is once again a @CBSNewsRadio affiliate. Just in time for Campaign 2020. We at @CBSNews are thrilled to be serving the station once again.

[David R. Alpert @DaveAlpert]

@PeterKingCBS @CBSNewsRadio @WTOP So, ABC lasted less than two years. Where will THEY end up?
