Junkies

When the contract extension signed by ENTERCOM Sports WJFK (106.7 THE FAN)/WASHINGTON morning team THE SPORTS JUNKIES was announced (NET NEWS 1/18), the announcement included the news that the long-running show would enter regional syndication. Sure enough, the JUNKIES -- JOHN (CAKES) AUVILLE, ERIC (E.B.) BICKEL, JASON (LURCH) BISHOP, and JOHN-PAUL (J.P.) FLAIM -- will be heard on SINCLAIR TELECABLE Sports WTAR-A-W243DJ-W243EK (SPORTS RADIO 850 AM AND 96.5 FM)/NORFOLK starting MONDAY (1/28), and ALL ACCESS hears that another affiliate will be announced on MONDAY.

WJFK PD CHRIS KINARD said, "We're excited to offer the SPORTS JUNKIES show to the audiences of great stations like SPORTS RADIO 96.5 AND 850 WTAR.  This is a natural brand extension for the JUNKIES, who have amassed a large and loyal following on terrestrial radio, streaming, podcast, and television over nearly 23 years. We believe their show is a great fit for any sports station in the MID-ATLANTIC region."

WTAR owner BOB SINCLAIR added, "We are thrilled to bring the SPORTS JUNKIES to HAMPTON ROADS and add them to our already stellar lineup. The show has been one of the best sports programs in the country for over 20 years and provides amazing coverage of the REDSKINS, CAPITALS, NATIONALS, WIZARDS, and more. And with so many of our listeners being fans of those teams, they will fit in perfectly here in the 757."
