WJFK-FM (106.7 The Fan)/Washington, DC inks a multi-year extension to its flagship broadcast and digital partnership with the Washington Nationals. As part of the extended deal, Nationals baseball will continue to be heard on 106.7 The Fan and streamed digitally via the Audacy app for fans within the Nationals broadcast territory.

"Opening Day is finally here and we're thrilled to celebrate the return of baseball season by extending our partnership with the Washington Nationals," said Audacy/Washington DC Senior Vice President and Market Manager Ivy Savoy-Smith. "We're looking forward to continuing to serve as the home for everything Nats for the foreseeable future and give the team's fans a front row seat to the action on the field and top storylines throughout the year."

Beyond game broadcasts, 106.7 The Fan will welcome Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo on "The Sports Junkies" every Wednesday morning at 9am ET, with additional player interviews and features set to be showcased via the expanded reach of "Nats Insider" hosted by Nationals broadcaster Dan Kolko. "Nats Insider" segments will not only air on 106.7 The Fan, but across multiple local Audacy stations and programs throughout the region.

"We couldn't be happier to partner with Audacy in bringing Nationals fans even more of the interviews and exclusive access they love," said Lerner Sports Group COO Alan H. Gottlieb. "From in-depth interviews with execs and top players, to off-the-field profiles and more Spanish and English bilingual content than ever before, Audacy offers a comprehensive look at our ball club from all angles."
