[Greater-baltimore] Orioles on the Radio

Fri Feb 20 20:02:55 UTC 2015

Chris,

Yes, I meant that the POC  was whomever has taken the lead on this by the
NFB.

I have the slant that we spoke of in my notes.  Hopefully, it won't get to
the point where that point even needs to be mentioned.  I am sure they will
be more than happy to work with us.

Has anyone contacted the Red Sox to inquire about their in house radios?
