Orioles radio on FM changes from newstalk to sportstalk
"The radio home of the Orioles, 105.7 FM, changed its format (November 3) from news talk to sports talk, giving Baltimore its first FM sports station - even though programmers there stopped short of embracing sports 24/7.
- From 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., the newly christened WJZ-FM, formerly WHFS-FM, will feature local sports-talk programming, with hosts including such familiar names as Mark Viviano, Scott Garceau, Bruce Cunningham and Anita Marks. Ed Norris, the former city police chief and state police commissioner whose afternoon news-talk show had been one of the few ratings bright spots in the 105.7 lineup, will move to the key weekday morning drive time slot.
- "Baltimore's a great sports town, and Baltimore deserves a great sports station on the FM dial," said Robert Philips, senior vice president and market manager for CBS Radio Baltimore, which operates both stations. "Nationally, you're seeing a lot of product move from the AM dial to the FM dial.""
