When he didn't like the radio deals on the table when the contract with WJFK ran up a few years ago, he bought 2 rimshot FM signals and an AM station that broadcasts at about 30 watts at night, turned them into "Redskins Radio", and put the games on there. People complained they couldn't hear the games, so he offered to buy 104.1 and 103.9 FM, which were broadcasting classical music at the time, from Bonneville. Once the Washington Post heard that Snyder and Bonneville were working on a deal for the signals, someone from Bonneville told the Washington Post that Snyder had offered far more than the signals were actually worth, and the deal fell apart. Snyder bought time on a strong FM signal for last season. When Clear Channel put its 3 AM signals up for sale this year, including WTEM, a sports station, Snyder bought them, and now controls them while the sale is pending with the FCC.He also added seats behind columns to FedEx Field so he could sell even more tickets. You think it would be out of the realm of possibility for him to start up a shuttle bus operation if he really wanted to? I don't. |
