When Capitals games conflict with other programming on 1500, the Capitals broadcast will be carried exclusively on Caps Radio 24/7, which is available through the Caps Mobile App by selecting the “Radio” button at the bottom of the home screen, WashingtonCaps.com and TuneIn Radio, a free app. That will be the case Thursday evening, when WFED 1500 will broadcast Game 5 of the National League Division Series between the Nationals and Dodgers as the Capitals simultaneously open the regular season at Pittsburgh. Capitals pregame coverage will begin on Caps Radio 24/7 at 7:45 p.m.

“We’re certainly glad about the Nats, and we’re a supporter of all D.C. teams,” said John Walton, who returns for his sixth season as the Capitals’ radio play-by-play announcer. “We weren’t on [the radio] at all during the preseason, except on Caps Radio 24/7, and we had a lot of people finding us in the digital world. Everything we’ve done at 24/7 is building for the future, and the future is here, as far as that’s concerned. We have a signal that sounds better than FM, it’s available for free and it’s something that you can get in a lot of places, but I think it will potentially take some getting used to.”

Ken Sabourin enters his 14th season as a Capitals radio analyst, while Ben Raby will host the Capitals’ pre- and postgame shows. The Wizards’ “Radio Party” tandem of play-by-play man Dave Johnson and analyst Glenn Consor return for their 20th and 10th seasons, respectively.

The Wizards Mobile App is available for download via the App Store (Apple) and Google Play Store (Android) or by visiting @WashWizards on Twitter from a mobile device and clicking “Install.”

“We wish Monumental well, and look forward to continuing to provide listeners with top-notch coverage and discussion of the Wizards and Capitals,” 106.7 The Fan program director Chris Kinard said in a statement. “We are expanding our top-rated sports talk programming into the evening hours, and are creating dedicated segments and regularly scheduled team-specific shows for fans of both teams. We will continue to air play-by-play of the Nationals, Virginia Tech football and basketball, Georgetown basketball and NFL prime-time games.”
