CBS Radio Senior VP/Market Manager Steve Swenson said, "We are proud to offer area sports fans an All-Star lineup that caters to their local and national sports interests. 106.7 The Fan knows DC sports like no one else, and CBS Sports is a clear leader when it comes to breaking down the day's headlines and stories breaking across the country. As a result of this impressive combination of stations, there's no argument we will be the dominant sports voice in the city."
