History
Inside Washington is the descendant of Agronsky & Co., a show hosted by Martin Agronsky and produced by Post-Newsweek, owners of WUSA 9, from 1969 to 1988, and aired on WUSA in the Washington, D.C. area. Upon Agronsky's retirement in 1988, Peterson took over as host, and the show was renamed Inside Washington. Gannett took over production for the remainder of the show's run on WUSA. When Peterson moved to WJLA in the autumn of 2004, the show and all of its regular panelists at the time were brought to WJLA as well. 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 by beginning to air on TBD TV, a Washington, D.C.-area local news cable television channel, at the same time the show switched to WJLA. The show also began airing on Washington, D.C.-area PBS station WETA on September 2, 2005.
