One of the first questions Tony Snow was asked at his inaugural White House press briefing concerned his ties to previous employer Fox News.

"It was a clean break," the president's new press secretary explained later, adding that he had about two years left on his Fox contract when he resigned. He described the process he went through to leave the News Corp. company.

His last day on the Fox books was May 7, and he officially became a White House employee May 8. Mr. Snow said government rules precluded him from receiving any future payouts or employment considerations from Fox.

"It was like, 'Thank you for working here. Bye,'" he said.

Mr. Snow had joked before accepting the press secretary job that he would have to take a hefty pay cut. We do not know what his salary was for hosting a daily radio show and "Weekend Live" on the Fox News Channel, but for comparison's sake, former White House press secretary Scott McClellan earned $161,000 last year.

"Brian & the Judge," hosted by Brian Kilmeade and former judge Andrew Napolitano, has filled Mr. Snow's Fox radio slot from 9 a.m. to noon. The show can be heard on both satellite radio providers, but has yet to be picked up by a local station. Mr. Snow's show had been heard on WMET-AM (1160) until March 24, when the station switched to paid programming.

Washington Post Radio (WTWP 1500 AM and 107.7 FM), which already had exclusive rights to Washington Nationals games, recently agreed to a two-year deal to air George Washington University (GWU) men's basketball games, and more sports are in Bonneville International stations' future.

In addition, WFED will be the home of U.S. Naval Academy Athletics in the District, and WTWP will be the home of Navy football. The deal consists of broadcasting all 12 football games (plus postseason bowl games), 10 men's basketball games and four men's lacrosse games on WFED.

There are plans to broadcast 10 of the football games (plus bowl games) on WTWP. Those 10 football games will be simulcast with WFED and WTWP.
