Welcome to Baltimore Jen Royle!

Today she begins at 105.7FM The Fan as their “Orioles Insider” which should be great news for baseball fans. She will be part of all the shows on CBS Radio in Baltimore and do work for MASN as part of her new deal.

Royle  established herself as one of the top baseball reporters in the business covering the American League East for the YES Network in New York and nationally for Sirius – XM. The talented Royle will now devote her full time efforts to covering the O’s.

She recently chose Baltimore over two top ten markets that wanted her services.

Her life has been a little hectic as she has found a new apartment, new car and is getting to know her new home and thus far loving it.

In a phone conversation she recently told me:

“Having grown up in Boston and worked in New York for the past seven years, it was important for me to stay close to my roots and to also stay in the American League East where I have the most professional experience. I fell in love with the city of Baltimore after my first interview at CBS and I’m really looking forward to building a new life here.”

“It will take a little time for me to learn the Orioles and Ravens inside and out, but I can honestly say I know just as much about the O’s as I do all the other teams in the Division. If fans are looking for in-depth coverage of the Orioles on The Fan, they’re certainly going to get it. I will be honest and I will be fair. I’m really excited about going to Camden Yards every day, I think this is such an exciting time to be an Orioles fan and I’m glad I can be a part of it. And for that I thank CBS’ Bob Philips and Dave Labrozzi as well as Jim Cuddihy at MASN for making this all possible.”

We wish Jen well in Baltimore and we will have more with her in the coming weeks.
