CBS Radio/Washington, DC, taps Veteran traffic personality and reporter to join the morning team on Hot WIAD-FM (94.7 FRESH FM) with Tommy McFly, Kelly Collis and Jen Richer, weekdays. Baden is a familiar voice to DC commuters trapped in their cars each morning and will report the latest commute conditions twice hourly at :10 and :40 past the hour.

"Traffic is an important part of any morning radio show, especially in Washington, D.C. which is regularly ranked as one of the most difficult commute cities in the country. Lisa's local knowledge, passion and quick wit are unparalleled in D.C. traffic reporting. Her ability to relate to commuters with quick, concise and entertaining information makes her reports a perfect fit with the Tommy Show," said VP/Programming Steve Davis. "We know the Tommy Show is not only listened to by commuters but also in Uber and Lyft cars, local cabs and even school buses. Lisa Baden has proven to be a listener favorite so she is the perfect addition to the Tommy Show."

Baden has reported on Washington traffic for more than two decades and is considered by many commuters as the authority in the market. She began covering highways and roads in and around Washington, DC and Baltimore more than 20 years ago working for Total Traffic where she appeared on many local stations.
