WMAL-AM To Go ESPN Sports - 6/13 - Cumulus says it will flip 630, WMAL-AM, to a sports talk format as of July 1. It will be known as ESPN 630. The news talk formet now on 630 will remain on WMAL-FM, 105.9.

The new 630 format will feature a batch of ESPN programming, including Mike Golic and Trey Wingo in mornings and Stephen A. Smith in middays. The AMer will continue to carry the Washington Redskins, along with its FM sister. No word on whether Radio One's WTEM, The Team 980, will also be carrying the Redskins this upcoming season. It was sold by team owner Dan Snyder's Red Zebra Broadcasting to Radio One last year. If WTEM sticks with sports, the DC market will now have three English language sports talkers, including format ratings leader 106.7 The Fan, WJFK, which is owned by Entercom.....

Think you’re mistaken. Recently they moved Levin to 10! Which is too late. No more Michael Savage.

They put in some guy called Buck Sexton, whom I don’t know why I’m supposed to know. I like him OK now, but how does he get a better spot than a well-known national name?

Fred Grandy and Security Chief Garibaldi from Babylon 5 were much better morning hosts than Chris Plante.

Nobody is better than Chris Plante. Nobody. (One man's opinion.)

Not just where you live but sometimes on different floors of a particular building.

Overall, a bad move. Have already removed 630 AM from the car presets.

We have an am station that is off the air and has been for a few years now,its mostly a mgmt. situation.THe station owner sold out never got behind the talent and when he left the station died in a few years. If you have a GM who is a real go getter your station will be a huge success no matter what.Look at WIOD in Miami with Jimmy Cefalo on in the am, Rush and Hannity the pm. It's a huge win. But other stations where the sattelite does all the work usually fall by the wayside.
