Following the Orioles flagship switch from 105.7 The Fan to WBAL, Jen Royle explained her role as an employee of both 105.7 and MASN. Royle posted her thoughts in a blog post on MASNSports.com as a reaction to various tweets, emails and facebook posts she received from fans following Monday’s news.
In regards to me: Thank you all for the overwhelming amount of tweets, emails, blog comments and Facebook notes in support of me staying at MASN and/or 105.7 The Fan. Unfortunately, as you all can probably figure out, I cannot work for both. I am currently talking to everyone and trying to figure out what my plans are for next season, and I promise I will keep you posted when I can. I refuse to say goodbye to Baltimore just yet!
Royle has been actively involved with 105.7 during the Ravens season as a beat reporter, but comes to Baltimore with a baseball background. She worked with MASN last season to cover the Orioles and Nationals on MASNSports.com and the team’s pre game shows.
Where do you see Jen Royle ending up?
Orioles baseball from the get go on WBAL is just stupid. MASN is the powerhouse for both Baltimore sports teams, and I don't know why that needs to change. It's ridiculous how that deal got done, therefore throwing everybody off. The best pre and post game shows will still be on 105.7, so why not keep the games there? I know; it's a business. But still. For fan experience, the switch to 105.7 was the best thing the team could have ever done. Now, it makes us flip back and forth between things for the best pieces.
Silly.
Hopefully on a bus back to her beloved NYC.
^^^^
What he said.
better be out of town. hopefully don't have to hear from her this year.
Your the guy that she slammed on twitter because you tweeted you yelled "you suck" at FanFest. Sounds like your bitter she didn't accept your apology. Haha. You apologized and she ignored you!
Is there anything worse than Twitter?
haha not bitter, but she has berated and yelled at and insulted hard core Orioles fans like myself, and many of my friends who have said nothing bad to her. so not bitter, but I think that if you want to work here, you need to show a sense of outward respect to fans. I don't care what you think to yourself, but everyone is watching you when you open your mouth. like they were when I tweeted about FanFest. I apologized, so thank you for seeing that as well.
So wait… You yelled "you suck" to her at FanFest and bragged about it over twitter and you're mad she berated you?
Sounds to me like YOU are the real jerk here buddy.
Jen's great. I wish her the best of luck and with any she can stay in Baltimore for a few more seasons
While I know this is a dollar and cents decision, as a fan this sucks. It's nice to tune into the flagship throughout the day and feel like you are getting all the team news first. Now you have BAL and their political rhetoric on all day and then a sudden switch around 6:00 when they then become a sports channel.
Another note…is Jerry Sandusky the worst play by play guy you ever heard or is it just me? He tries to act excited when the Ravens score a TD but it sounds fake and put on.
I do realize Angel and Manfra will continue doing Os play by play, but just thinking about BAL reminded me of Sandusky.
The jerk Keith Mills isn't a part of any of this is he? Pre/post game show? Can't stand that piece of garbage…
I love Jen Royle! She always has great baseball information. Best female reporter we’ve had around here for sure. And shes beautiful. I met her once and she was so nice
I don’t care where she ends up as long as she stays. She’s really funny too an always talks about eating chipotle and drinking beer love that she seems cool and never pretends. Marry me Jen
Jen Royle owns..you guys that don’t like her should get out of your mother’s basement and recognize talent when you see it. Jen, ignore the tards.
Jen Royle is a joke. A Boston native who lives and dies NY sports. If I hear her call a player like Bergesen "Bergy" one more time I am going to get sick. She can't get back to NY and out of here quick enough.
You have no idea what your talking about. From what I understand and I listen to her all the time, she doesn't even like NY sports. She's from Boston. She admits she still likes the Patriots but thats it. Your clueless dude. I heard shes staying too so sorry
Mr. Orioles – she hates basketball and hockey and grew up a Patriots fan. How can she live and die for NY sports? Makes no sense to me. You’re just another Baltimore guy who hates that covered the Yankees. Calling somebody Bergy I think shows she has personality and cares about the Orioles.
I met her. She’s awesome. Hot. Fun. Cool. Awesome.
I love Jen. I hope she stays. Nobody, especially a female, knows baseball better than her. She's entertaining to listen to and GREAT to look at. Go, Jen!!!!
