DAN SNYDER EXPANDS RADIO EMPIRE

Redskins owner Dan Snyder reached a deal yesterday to buy three local AM radio stations from Clear Channel Communications, including the area's leading sports-talk station, WTEM. The purchase gives Snyder control of sports talk radio in Washington.It thus gives the owner of the most popular and closely followed sports franchise in the region ownership of the biggest broadcast outlets for commentary about his team. Snyder's purchase of WTEM (980), WTNT (570) and WWRC (1260) for an undisclosed price means his Red Zebra Broadcasting arm will own six stations in the area. Red Zebra's current stations, known as Triple X ESPN Radio, also carry sports-talk programs.
