Anyone else think she sounds like a whiney Long Island kid doing traffic at her college radio station?

Haven't heard her yet. However, the sound of a dog taking a shit is still better than Lisa Baden.

Reada Kessler
February 1, 2011 - 10:31am

It came as no surprise to anyone in her family that Reada ended up on the radio. After all, she was the kid whose favorite toy was a hand held tape recorder. She would spend hours upon hours in her room pretending she had her own radio station (which was named WGUM), making up stories, singing and other general silliness.

Many years later, Reada is no longer pretending. She has been in the business since high school when she got her first internship at a top 40 station in Washington D.C. Since then, she's held a variety of positions - promotions assistant, producer, dj, public affairs and traffic reporter to name a few.
She was a traffic reporter for the DC/Baltimore area for 7 years, nationwide on satellite radio for 5 years and has spent the last couple of years on the air in Baltimore.

Born and raised in Silver Spring, Reada says "I was a Cresthaven Dragon, a Francis Scott Key Raider, a Springbrook Blue Devil and a Towson Tiger. I'm excited to be back reporting traffic in a city I love. DC traffic can be frustrating and it is my job to help you get where you're going as quickly as possible and hopefully with much less stress. However, I can't do my job without you. Your calls to the WTOP traffic center are a vital part of what we do here and I appreciate each and every one of them."

You can reach Reada on the WTOP Traffic hotline at 877-222-1035.

Yes. The fact that I pointed out there are a lot of Jewish people working at WTOP means I support the Holocaust.

One day I was listening to WMAL in the morning and one their the many traffic reports and I thought I was listening to annoying Lisa Baden but later found out it was some other person trying very hard to imitate her. You could tell that this other person had been told to imitate Baden because it sounded so forced and unnatural. As much as I was annoyed by Baden's reports at least it was her own style. But to have someone trying to imitate all of her goofy inflections seems even more ridiculous. I guess they think it will bring ratings.

I've listened to the new traffic reports in the morning. Rita Kessler is all about reporting traffic. None of this song and dance bullshit. So far, she addresses more roads in one segment than Baden did over the course of 30 minutes. And Father Hurley Boulevard was mentioned on in passing. Lovin' it!

Stay home in the mornings and watch her live on the Channel 7 news. It's always refreshing to see Lisa Baden do her traffic reports with her wild, tufted hair and clothing fresh from the racks of the local Salvation Army store.

Fuck that! There was nothing worse than sitting in a 30-minute back up on I-66 only to hear that it was volume when, in fact, two fucking lanes were closed for an accident. Baden was the worst.

Am I the only one in this whole area that looked forward to hearing Lisa Baden every morning. I'm a senior and live in the Chesapeake Bay area and have been in Maryland for nine years and we seniors don't like changes. I wondered why I hadn't heard Liza's voice lately -- I thought she had been on vacation -- boy was I wrong. Frankly, I really don't care for Rita Kessler's voice. So there, that is strickly my opinion.

Yea, Liza appealed to non-commuting seniors in Maryland. That's why she's not on WTOP anymore.

Well, I'm a commuting "senior" (62) and a Jew (Ido think asking if every WTOP traffic reporter has to be Jewish reflects some bit of anti-semitism) and I much preferred Lisa Baden's lively traffic reports over Reada Kessler's awful sound - I can't pay attention to what she is saying, because her voice is so annoying. And I have a very "unique" voice myself that I would never trouble a radio audience with.

First, I wasn't the one who made the Jewish traffic reporter comment and my response to it was to point out the absurdity of the original comment.

Second, I don't care if Kessler has a good voice or not. She provides useful information. Baden was too busy trying to be cute to do her fucking job properly.

Lisa is great and I will miss her greatly, she kept me awake in the mornings as well as her professionalism and dedication. Thank you Lisa!!

As to all traffic reporters being Jewish, I don't know what that has to do with anything and for someone to point it out is either a vain attemp at humor or some anti-semetic rhetoric which either way is inappropriate even for some anoymous blog.

After Lisa however Rita seems just a litle too restrained, perhaps more of her personality (which really make the difference) will show as time goes on.

That's odd. To me, after Lisa, Rita seems like someone interested in telling me about traffic issues around the area as opposed to my mom making bad jokes and nagging me to turn on my headlights every ten minutes.

I don't want personality, I want traffic. If you want personality, try one of those morning zoo programs. I bet Jack Diamond on 107.3 would be right up your alley.

I don't listen to traffic reports for personality. I listen to them for the traffic. Given the limited time available for traffic coverage in each report, Baden's quips, singing, etc, really went against the whole purpose for the traffic report in the first place. If you want humor and personality, try pretty much everything else on the dial at that time of the morning.

Maybe now I can catch a full weather report on WTOP. I used to have to turn off the traffic report and count the seconds until the weather would come on. Most times I would guess wrong and end up either missing the first part of the weather, or tuning in too soon and painfully be reminded why I tuned out the traffic in the first place. Glad Lisa O'Baden, "O" for obnoxious, is gone.

I am appalled by low level some people resort to when they don't have anything intelligent to say. How demonstrative of your IQ to include anti-semitic remarks, name calling, and generalizing. No radio station can have eyes and ears everywhere. If you don't hear about your traffic situation, maybe no one called the station to update them. We are their best resource, but it seems that the posters on this forum are too self absorbed to be helpful. I'm not a fan of Reada's voice either, but she provides a service. Lisa Baden was just a different voice providing the same service.

I actually think Reada's been doing a great job - she hits the main roads in every report. It seems to me that WTOP's traffic reports in general have improved since they ditched Metro Traffic. I think the callers have a lot to do with it.

I love Lisa Baden's traffic report. Her report always brings up a smile in me even during the worst traffic jams.

I'll take Lisa Baden over the afternoon traffic guy Bob Marbourg. His reports are horrible. He will spend a good chunk of the time talking about one accident instead of getting in as much as he can within one report. It drives me nuts when he says traffic on "I-66 runs un-eventful", what the hell does that mean??? Is it slower than normal, jammed, or moving at normal speeds? The weekend reporters do a better job than the "senior" traffic guys. I get more out of XM traffic reports and Google Maps than WTOP now, which is pretty sad.

They changed traffic reporters? Oh the humanity!

With smartphones and satellite radio, can't you just get the update on your own and avoid having to sift through obnoxious commercials while someone covers shit in Maryland that doesn't affect you?

Lisa Baden was a great traffic reporter on WTOP. She could be corny, but she gave accurate up to date traffice reports. Bob Marbourg and Lisa Baden are the two best traffic reporters the Washington area has. More than any other radio station, you could count and can count on reports that spotlight problems in any area within 50 miles of DC. She will be missed.

Wanna bet she will be back later this year. The reason she is not there is because her employer was the Metro Traffic company (or whatever it was) and she had a one year non-compete clause.

I'm not so sure about this. Lisa Baden was still with Metro Traffic as recently as June 3, when she started doing traffic on WMAL:

June 3, 2011
Lisa Baden Joins WMAL
Effective on Monday, Lisa Baden joins the WMAL morning show, as the station launches the "WMAL Traffic And Transit Team," with traffic every 10 minutes on the 5s, co-anchored by Lisa Baden and Jamee Whitten. Baden is the former longtime morning traffic voice on WTOP, with almost 20 years of on-air traffic reporting in the DC market. "Teaming Lisa with Whitten, who's been heard on the WMAL airwaves for the past 15 years, will result in an amazingly strong brand for credibletraffic information in morning drivetime," WMAL Assistant Program Director Bill Hess tells DCRTV. Both Baden and Whitten work for Metro Traffic.....

I don't care who does it as long as they actually report on what happens between the Beltway and DC on 66. It's like they think 66 just ends at the beltway and there is nothing else to report.

This morning I listened to her completely ignore the two car fire on 66 near Gainesville that closed the highway and backed things up for hours. Not. One. Word.

Now, I'm sure she mentioned it at some point but not when I was tuned in. I don't have time to listed to that station for 30 minutes to wait for her to get around to reporting on 66.

Fail.

If you don't have 30 minutes to listen, the traffic can't be too bad.

The incident I was referring to was reported on the local news before I even left the house. It was one of the biggest traffic stories of the morning. I took an alternate route.

Had I listened to WTOP, I would have been sitting IN the traffic mess listening for hours as they mention it once every 30 minutes and spend the rest of the time reporting on the usual backups in Maryland. A lot of good that would have done me.

I don't know about you, but most people listen to traffic reports to avoid traffic. Not so they can figure out why the traffic jam they are already in is so terrible.

I just want more accurate 66 reports...one day I hear traffic is backed up out of Gainesville and it's a smooth ride all the way to fairfax...the next day I hear very heavy manassas into centerville and it's backed up to Gainesville...sometimes there will be three rounds of traffic reports without a mention of 66...

Now I know where Lisa Baden came from. I wish she'd go back. There's something about her voice that grates on my nerves, and when she suddenly breaks out in song I cringe and turn the radio off. Love Jamee though.

Two good things about Ms. Kessler:

One: she is not LISA BADEN
Two: She is not LISA BADEN

Seriously, though. One morning she reported that a matress had been left on one of the local roads. One of the two morning a....holes...masquerading as news anchors had to ask what size it was. Kessler said something to effect of it being fairly large and went on with the traffic report without missing a beat.

Could you imagine the interplay baden, moss and allen would have had with that. "I don't know...I'll have to sleep on it", "Hopefully, the road crews "spring" into action or "Don't loose any sleep over it" The broadcast might have run out of time with the three of them off on one of their tangents. Comedy and entertainment seem to have the traffic report since Baden left.

Hey - I just thought of one more thing:

3) She is not LISA BADEN

No shit.

The few times I've heard Baden on WNEW, it sounds like they aren't going with her bullshit shtick. Still, she sucks.

Unless that local road was Father Hurley Blvd, that mattress wouldn't have even made it into her report. She never reports on anything other than that, 270, BW Parkway, 95 in MD, 495 in MD, and 295 in DC. It's like she thinks the Potomac is the boundary between civilization and wilderness. To her, we may as well be a bunch of Native Americans waiting to meet the white man...

Yep, she is still fucking hot. we need to change this thread to an Ashley fan club thread. More pics....we need more pics! Thanks for posting these pics. Good job. Looking for hot Ash pics is way better than talking about the other two fugly bitches...Lisa and Rita. Oh, they may be good journalists, but who cares. This is intended to be way more shallow and one dimensional. Ashley is much much higher on the fuckable meter.

Ah, some nice additional pictures. Thanks. So, I thought I would do my part and try to find some web pics to put on here, as well. How interesting to find out Ashley likes to eat pussy! Here is a link to her lesbo blog. I love it! I would love to have some of that action. Ashley, a new found love for you now that I know you do the scissor!!
And the fact that she is so open about it...reading her blog, I have come to the conclusion that she seems like a pretty cool chick.
I hope the new direction in careers does well for her. Anyone seen her do her stand up comedy act yet?
