Nationals To Z104, WFED - 2/17 - All evening and night Nationals baseball games will be heard on Bonneville's hot adult contemporary Z104 - WWZZ 104.1 FM and WWVZ 103.9 FM. And all games, including daytimers, will be heard on Bonneville's federal news talker WFED - 1050 AM. The announcement of the one-year deal was made on Bonneville all-newser WTOP's airwaves at 4:04 PM Thursday by Joel Oxley, who heads Bonneville's DC radio cluster, which includes Z104, WFED, WTOP, and WGMS. This is a surprise because it was widely reported that the Nats' play-by-play finalists were Clear Channel's WTEM and Infinity's WJFK-FM. The games will be difficult to hear on the Baltimore area airwaves because of Clear Channel smooth jazzer WSMJ at 104.3, which is adjacent to Z104's 104.1 frequency. Also, the full-powered 104.1 signal originates from southern Prince George's County, and has some weak coverage areas in DC's northern and western suburbs. Z104's 103.9 Frederick area outlet is a relatively low-powered regional signal, as is Silver Spring's WFED, which runs only 1,000-watts by day and 44-watts at night. Read the Bonneville press release in DCRTV's 2/17 Mailbag. More in the DC Post, which reports that the team will buy the air time - terms were unavailable - and try to recover the money through ad sales
This is great news lets hope it is true. We do not need the NATS on WJFK.
