Nationals To WJFK

[DToTheJ]

The Washington Nationals are close to naming WJFK-FM (106.7 The Fan) as their new flagship station. Meanwhile, their current home station, WTOP sister Federal News Radio 1500, will likely remain as a repeater:

Interesting that this comes just days after WJFK's brother station in Baltimore, 105.7 The Fan, loses radio rights to the Baltimore Orioles.

I guess this means that JFK is remaining sports talk. I kind of liked it when they were men talk...more variety of topics. Sometimes the sports talk format on both JFK and ESPN980 can be quite boring with the same three topics all day.

My gut is that, with the loss of the Orioles, coupled with one of their midday personalities leaving, 105.7 The Fan in Baltimore could be the local FM sports station going in a different direction, and not WJFK.
