After carrying their games for all but three years since 1982, CBS Talk
1210 WPHT Philadelphia will no longer serve as the flagship station for
Philadelphia Phillies baseball. The games will remain with CBS airing
exclusively on Sports 94.1 WIP starting with the upcoming 2016 season. WIP
has been co-flagship with WPHT since 2012. Terms and length of the deal
were not announced. CBS had previously signed a one year extension to keep
the Phillies on WIP/WPHT for the past 2015 season in September 2014.
