Comments
I don't know who I feel more sorry for: those stations' advertising salespeople or their listeners.

What stinks is WICO in Salisbury only does weekend games, then only when they don't conflict with other sports they broadcast. Salisbury deserves a full-time affiliate! Thank God for XM...

Sorry, but I was driving back to Baltimore from Virginia Monday afternoon. I approached the DC area around 3:45, and tuned into WTEM-980 in DC to listen to the game. But the game wasn't on. Instead it was regular sports talk.
I tried to tune into 105.7, but you can't really get an audible signal until you approach Howard County in I-95.
I kept tuning back to 980, but the game wasn't being broadcast. Are you sure they are still an affilliate? Do the O's even have a DC affillaite anymore?

Monday's game was aired on sister station WTNT/570 in D.C. Airings there are sometimes bumped to 570 or WWRC/1260 by schedule conflicts.
FYI, there's a report on the DCRTV.com mailbag that Frederick's WFMD/930 dropped the Orioles, don't know if the report is true or not.

Yeah, WFMD would rather have Michael Savage on at night instead of the Orioles. That's how bad things have gotten.
