WMAL To Split Simulcast, Debuting ESPN 630

https://radioinsight.com/headlines/178961/kevin-sheehan-returns-to-wtem-mornings/

Another change coming to WTEM Radio

Radio One Sports “The Team 980” WTEM Washington DC has announced that Kevin Sheehan will rejoin the station as morning host starting August 5.

Sheehan had been co-hosting mornings at WTEM until Urban One closed on its purchase of the station from Red Zebra Broadcasting last August. He first joined the station in 2004 and served as Washington Redskins pregame host for 12 years. Sheehan has been hosting a local podcast since departing the station.

ANother set of changes coming to ESPN 630 AM


Cumulus Media’s newly launched Sports “ESPN 630” WSBN Washington DC has tabbed two market veterans to join its lineup.

Bram Weinstien will host afternoons from 3-6pm and “Redskins Today” from 6-7pm. The former SportsCenter anchor previously served as sideline reporter during Redskins game broadcasts in the early 2000s and hosted shows for Red Zebra Broadcasting’s “Triple X Sports Radio” WXTR/WWXX/WWXT.

Since they’re bothering to put local talent on 630 and try to make a go of it, where does this leave 980?

I get this bad feeling someone will get the short end of the stick in a 3-way sports radio race. Probably not the Fan because of the Nats, probably not 630 because they have the Redskins. That leaves 980, who in a short time will be stuck with no Skins broadcasts and a bunch of hosts picked because of their closeness to the team.

And as a diehard O’s fan, I’d like to imagine they’d get by with the Birds. Let’s be honest...nobody is watching or listening to Baltimore baseball this year, especially when you have a team in your own backyard who has for the past decade, managed to not suck.

Another change coming to 630 AM Tony Kornheiser is added as host

Cumulus Media's new all-sports radio station in Washington, DC, ESPN 630-The Sports Capitol, will debut the Tony Kornheiser Show today from Noon-1:00pm. Veteran sports personality Tony Kornheiser welcomes a cast of regulars and local guests to the show Monday through Friday in the city where Kornheiser made his name as a sportswriter for the Washington Post and as a popular radio and television host.

"I'm tremendously excited to be heard once again each day in the town where I live, and on a radio frequency I've listened to for forty years," said Kornheiser.

Bill Hess, Program Director, Cumulus Washington, DC, added, "Tony is a legend on sports radio in DC and we're thrilled to be his new home. With Tony at Noon, followed by ESPN's The Stephen A. Smith Show at 1:00pm, ESPN 630 has the best one-two midday punch in town!"
