TK Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 For Immediate Release February 15, 2017 REDSKINS ADD WMAL TO REDSKINS RADIO NETWORK FOR GAME DAY BROADCASTS LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. – The Washington Redskins announced today that WMAL will carry Redskins Radio Network broadcasts in the Washington, D.C. metro area on game days, beginning with the 2017 NFL season. The distribution on WMAL’s 105.9 FM and 630 AM will supplement the team’s flagship home on ESPN980 AM (WTEM), 92.7 FM (WWXT) and 94.3 FM (WWXX) in the market, as well the broadcast’s availability on the official Redskins mobile app. The broadcasts represent a homecoming of sorts, as the Redskins will return to the same WMAL airwaves on which the team’s broadcasts aired as early as 1942. In addition to carrying game broadcasts, WMAL will carry an hour of the Redskins Radio Network pregame show as well as an hour of Redskins Radio Network postgame programming. “We are very excited to be partnering with WMAL to provide Redskins fans enhanced coverage of our games,” said Terry Bateman, Redskins Executive Vice President/Chief Marketing Officer. “WMAL and the Redskins organization have a long history together spanning six decades of the station carrying Redskins games. We have maintained a strong relationship over the years and now look forward to working together again to provide comprehensive coverage of Redskins football for the Washington market.” “We are excited and honored to be working with the Redskins again,” said Jake McCann, WMAL Vice President/Market Manager. “The Redskins and WMAL were partners during the team’s three glorious Super Bowl winning seasons. We look forward to bringing the combined assets of WMAL to this exciting, renewed partnership.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZRagone Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 With them playing on WMAL, I can finally listen to the games on my radio when I'm driving right near their HQ. Amazing. Definitely like the idea of having them on 105.9. Comes in crystal clear pretty much anywhere I go up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
