February 22, 200521 yr As most of you saw in a thread earlier, the Washington Nationals just signed a radio deal with Bonneville to be on WFED and Z104. The Nats are now trying to get a TV deal that the O's won't veto. Well, the former home of the Nationals has also had some talks with the team. The former Expos English flagship, 990 The Team in Montreal, has contacted the team and Bonneville about becoming an affiliate of the Nationals Radio Network. RDS, French Canada's ESPN, has also expressed interest in broadcasting a 20-25 game package of Nationals games in French to Canada. Sounds odd doesn't it? Offers from media in Montreal to air baseball games? Where were these offers the past 10 years? The Expos and sponsors used to buy most of their broadcast time. Worst part of all this is the Nats may have a TV deal to show games in French to Canada before they have a deal to show games in English to the Nation's capital. My question to you: Do the baseball gods have a sense of humor or what?
