Washington Senators Radio-Television Log from 1959 Team Print Page
The page from the 1959 The Sporting News Dope Book details the Washington Senators' radio-television broadcasting information and uniform specifications. It lists WTOP (1500) and WTOP-FM (98.7) as the radio stations broadcasting Senators games, with announcers Bob Wolff, Chuck Thompson, and Bailey Goss covering all home and road games. Television broadcasts were on WTOP-TV (Channel 9), with similar announcers and a schedule of eight home games and five road games aired on Saturdays and Sundays. The uniform description for the Senators indicates a navy blue color scheme with a white design, featuring "Senators" in navy blue lettering across the front of the jerseys. The players wore black caps and white pants, accessorized with a black belt. The design details are reflective of the Senators’ identity as a Major League Baseball team.
