That is correct. They left WBAL already.
The station that actually did the best job with Orioles was the old WFBR
1300 in the late 70's-early 80's. They promoted the heck out of them and
created a lot of excitement. Unfortunately their signal stunk but it was
nicely supplemented by WTOP-1500 in DC which allowed reception down the
coast. WFBR was a truly great radio station. Great programming. Superb
local hosts.
The Orioles had great announcers over the years. Chuck Thompson, Bill
O'Donnell, Jon Miller. I thought Tom Marr from the WFBR was good too...not
that smooth but really got caught up in the action and conveyed real
excitement. Ernie Harwell was there in his pre-Tigers day. The current
crew is quite weak.
It's sad to think about how the franchise has deteriorated from top to
bottom.
