Longtime radio broadcaster Pat Boland dies – CDT
Pat Boland, a name and voice familiar to the Penn State and State College communities succumbed to brain cancer. He was 42. I remember Boland mostly for his radio work with Phil Grosz of Blue White Illustrated and pre- and post-game of Nittany Lions games.

There are apparently sports talk radio warz going on (visit DC Sports Bog if you really want to find out more) which has me thinking one thing — I miss Ken Beatrice!

Good news — The Washington Nationals Radio Network is apparently moving to FM. Nats Insider reports today that 106.7 WJFK aka “The Fan” will start carrying the Nats.

While I was not a huge hockey fan growing up, I used to listen to Weber regularly in addition [...]
The long awaited return to radio by Don Geronimo on June 21 will be in Sacramento, often a target of the Don and Mike Show’s ire. He is excited about the deal and will probably be syndicated eventually. If he shows up here, I’ll probably listen.
Meanwhile, his ex-partner Mike O’Meara continues to produce a one-hour [...]
With this Web radio gig, who needs FM? – The PostNow about 2.5 months into his podcast, Mike O’Meara has recouped his original investment through sponsorships and donation and looking to expand into video. The podcast has about 15,000 listeners, 40% from the D.C. area.
I have not listen to the podcast much because I’m stuck [...]
