Harrisburg Radio: Sports WHGB To Air MLB Nats

Ron Giovanniello, regional vice president of Cumulus Media Pennsylvania, said Monday the company's new Harrisburg-based Sports Radio 96.5 T-FM (W243BR) will carry the Nats instead of the Philadelphia Phillies as part of a one-year deal.

"Our agreement was up and we made the decision last week to part ways with the Phillies and flip to the Nationals," Giovanniello told PennLive.com. "Nothing against the Phillies, but clearly the Nationals are a team on the rise. They won the NL East last year and are picked to win it again this year.

"Obviously [a winning team] helps in all ways, and they certainly will be a postseason contender that makes a deeper run in the playoffs this year. Unfortunately, I don't see that in the Phillies' immediate future."

Giovanniello said Cumulus recently acquired a new FM signal on the 96.5 frequency, allowing the company to move its CBS Sports Radio programming over from the 95.3 position. The signal is also available on WHGB 1400 AM in Harrisburg and WGLD 1440 AM in nearby York.
