O's ditch WBAL for HFS

The Orioles have surprisingly abandoned longtime radio home WBAL for WHFS. This is kind of a surprising move given that the Orioles, for most of their history have been on BAL. Want to know who really loses in this equation? Believe it or not, distant Orioles fans who live in the northeast and the southeast. BAL's 50,000 watt flamethrower allowed fans in those distant locales to listen to WBAL at night on most nights given a clear signal. That's not going to work on HFS, which is barely audible once you get to DC. That's why when WQSR was the Ravens flagship station, they swapped signals with WQSR swapped signals from 105.7 to 102.7 for additional DC coverage.

What this does to modern rock on WHFS is anybody's guess...
