Then a year ago or two ago, Mister Snyder created three radio stations that would carry Redskins Radio.  At that point there was a nice balance. Sportstalk 980 had a lot of disgruntled former Redskins players such as Brian Mitchell and Doc Walker who were very outspoken in their criticism of the current ownership.  Redskins Radio was a lot more favorable to the current regime obviously.  It was nice to be able to hear both perspectives.

Then Mister Snyder purchased Sportstalk 980. I didn’t particularly like the hater-fan attitude of 980, but I liked to have an option that wasn’t owned by the actual team. 

To be fair, in the months since I wrote this article, Sportstalk 980 hosts haven’t been turned into mouthpieces for the organization; there is still plenty of criticism to be heard.  But nobody can say the change in ownership didn’t have an impact on the material that it put on the air.

Make more sense? Let me know if you have any questions.

At the time, however, it did seem like he was attempting to monopolize the local market.
