Incumbent station, WFED 1500 AM will continue carrying the team as well, even though it is owned by Bonneville (for now) and WJFK is owned by CBS.<\/p>\n<p>While, I agree with former <em>Post<\/em> columnist <strong>Marc Fisher<\/strong> that baseball is great on AM that&#8217;s the case only if the signal can be picked up! 1500 AM is an odd signal, probably D.C.&#8217;s best, but oriented in a SW-NE direction. People in New England can hear it, people in Centreville or say my condo in Alexandria&#8217;s West End can&#8217;t. 106.7 FM comes in though, so I&#8217;m happy to have the option of either band. I will still get the MLB audio package though, because it ensures I can listen to the Nats and every other baseball team anywhere I have a computer with speakers. It might be the best $20 I spend annually.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see what happens to the Nats radio ratings. Though I do not keep track of them too closely, I know they are not very high. The apparent advantage of being promoted by the #1 station in the market, WTOP (WFED&#8217;s sister station, remains. Being on a sports station may be help out some as well. Who knows maybe some of the shows on the station will actually <strike>do something other than suck up to Dan Snyder and not ask a meaningful question when he&#8217;s in studio<\/strike> talk about something other than the Redskins now.<\/p>\n<p>The best news of all is that <strong>Charlie Slowes<\/strong> and <strong>Dave Jageler<\/strong> are returning once again as the voices of the Nats. Their might be some new support staff though, we&#8217;ll have to see if the Jack of All Things sticks around and\/or if some former staff might be back in the mix.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/voices.washingtonpost.com\/dcsportsbog\/2011\/02\/1067_the_fan_expected_to_becom.html\">DC Sports Bog notes that the Nats weekday afternoon games will not be broadcast by WJFK<\/a>. They&#8217;d rather run aloof Mike Wise and Lavar Arrington (sorry, dude but your sucking up to Dan Snyder cost your credibility) and Chad &#8220;If he&#8217;s the conscience of D.C. sports we deserve the championship drought&#8221; Dukes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good news &#8212; The Washington Nationals Radio Network is apparently moving to FM.
