George Wallace began at WTOP on Christmas Day of 2000, what a way to spend the holidays.

He began his broadcasting career at WMUC on the campus of the University of Maryland where he served as play-by-play during broadcasts of football and basketball. George received his degree in 2001 from Maryland — so needless to say — the Terrapins are like his family. Born and raised in Maryland, he’s had a Redskin football in his hand from day one.

Working for Westwood One/CBS Radio, George covered the Summer Olympics in Athens,Greece and the Winter games in Torino,Italy. He’s also covered the Masters for Westwood One since 2009.
