WBAP-FM (93.3 MHz, "Newstalk WBAP") is a commercial radio station licensed to Haltom City, Texas, and serving the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The station is owned by Cumulus Media, and the broadcast license is held by Radio License Holding SRC LLC. It broadcasts a news/talk radio format, as a simulcast of WBAP in Fort Worth. The studios and offices are in the Victory Park district in Dallas just north of downtown.

WBAP-FM maintains a transmitter site on Singleton Boulevard in West Dallas near the I-30Loop 12 interchange.[2] It has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 50,000 watts, with its tower at 120 meters (394 ft) in height above average terrain (HAAT). This gives WBAP-FM a limited signal, with most Dallas FM stations powered at 100,000 watts, and with towers four times taller than WBAP-FM. It is licensed by iBiquity to broadcast a digital HD Radio signal. WBAP-FM stopped transmitting its digital signals in late November 2011 and resumed in early January 2012 before ceasing again in 2014. In May 2022, WBAP-FM resumed its digital broadcasts again.
