Medium Well: WBAL's sports network switch - Sports media blog by The Baltimore Sun's Ray Frager

WBAL's sports network switch

With 1370 AM running Fox Sports network programming, WBAL (1090) had to switch to another network with the new year. Sporting News Radio has replaced Fox Sports for WBAL's weekend and late weeknight air not otherwise filled by local or other programs.

Why don't NST get Sporting News, with 1300 having ESPN and 1370 having FOX Sports? Maybe, Sporting News will help out with the terrible signal NST puts out.

I love WNST. The area would have a serious void without it. I enjoy 105.7 The Fan when it's local. As for 1370 AM, I like Jerry Coleman, but you can have the rest. ESPN Radio is the best of the national slop. Mike & Mike, Mel Kiper, Gammons, et al are worth the listen.

About Ray Frager

Ray Frager joined The Baltimore Sun’s sports department in 1985 and has been an assistant sports editor for more than 15 years. This is his second stint writing a sports media column for The Baltimore Sun. Most sequels aren't as good as the original, but then, the original wasn't all that great either.

Frager, born in 1957, grew up in northern Delaware (graduating from a high school that since has shut down) and received his bachelor's degree in journalism from Rider College in Lawrenceville, N.J. He worked as a reporter and copy editor at The Trenton Times and The Dallas Morning News before coming to Baltimore.

Surprisingly, if you look at his accompanying photo, Frager is married and has a son and daughter. He enjoys playing basketball and has organized pickup games among members of The Baltimore Sun staff for many years, which means they don't get too mad at him for shooting way too much.

He has a good beat and is easy to dance to. I'd give him an 85.
