As for the local sports talk radio issue, I think so much of the problem is that few of the hosts know much at all about baseball. They just don't have anything to say. Therefore, many of the shows will do an obligatory segment per day about the Nats, with the discussion picking up during the post season, but that's it. They simply don't know what to say. Grant and Danny are the most notable exceptions on 106.7. Al Galdi does a good job with baseball on the AM station, but he doesn't have a huge role there.
