B'more Radio: MLB Orioles, WBAL AM Renew Deal

Orioles radio broadcasts will remain on WBAL 1190 AM for at least the next two seasons, according to The Baltimore Sun.

The club and the station have finalized a multiyear deal for WBAL to remain the Orioles’ radio affiliate, according to an industry source. It is believed to be a two-year pact.

Joe Angel and Fred Manfra, who have called Orioles radio broadcasts together since 2004, will also return, the source added.

A previous three-year deal with WBAL expired at the end of this season. Specifics of the deal are not known, but it is structured as a revenue-sharing partnership between the two sides.

The Orioles and the Hearst-owned radio station have had a long-standing relationship -- 2014 will be the 45th season that WBAL has been the radio home of the club during its 60-year tenure in Baltimore.
