Luke and Nestor discuss the Orioles best path forward with new ownership at Koco’s Pub on “A Cup Of Soup Or Bowl Week” to benefit The Maryland Food Bank. New owners at The Warehouse?

WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 1: The New Orleans Super Bowl 2:52 march in February that you’ll never forget

Nestor Aparicio

If you were in New Orleans for Super Bowl XLVII on February 3, 2013, you were probably down at the river meeting us the for greatest purple march in the history of the Baltimore Ravens fan base. Thousands of you met us at the Natchez down at the Mississippi River to march 17 blocks at 2:52 to watch Joe Flacco throw and the lights go out at the Superdome. Where were you in the parade of purple on Poydras? Got any pictures? Send them our way and help us share the memories of the greatest event in the history of WNST and Baltimore Positive.

The emptiness of the end of another season without a Super Bowl parade

Baltimore Positive

The end came abruptly and unexpectedly. It was a great regular season for 2023 Baltimore Ravens but as Dennis Koulatsos and Nestor confess, the end wasn’t as beautiful as the rest of it. Lots of changes ahead in Owings Mills as the franchise and the fan base regroups from the promise and tremendous disappointment.

Peter G. Angelos (by Ricig)

Is this really the end of the Angelos error for Orioles fans?

Baltimore Positive

With the news that the John Angelos has agreed to sell the Baltimore Orioles to an ownership group led by Baltimore billionaire David Rubenstein and Mike Arougheti, Luke Jones and Nestor wonder how quickly it’ll happen and what it means for the Mike Elias and the team on the field in the not-too-distant future. A 30-year civic hostage situation feels like it’s ending for local baseball fans who have suffered such an awful ownership group.

Matt Stover: Controlling what you can and the pressure of staying calm

Baltimore Positive

He’s played for four Hall of Fame and Super Bowl-winning coaches and former Ravens kicker Matt Stover tells Nestor that staying cool in the heat of the battle is the only way a kicker can make it in the NFL. Some words of wisdom in the aftermath of a difficult bad beat for the Baltimore football team.

WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 2: The powerful message of Free The Birds to awful Orioles owner Peter G. Angelos

Nestor Aparicio

We did our best and this remains the pride of all of the work of Nestor Aparicio: exposing the truth about the awfulness of the Orioles ownership stewardship of the Baltimore Orioles over three decades. The “FREE THE BIRDS” rally was held on September 21, 2006. It was 18 years ago and the team has posted just four winning seasons since then. Peter Angelos heard the voices of the Baltimore baseball fans that day. So did most of America…

The other “terps” are in season, too!

Baltimore Positive

In our never-ending exploration and education behind why it does what it does, our Chief Cannabis Officer Wendy Bronfein of Curio Wellness tells Nestor about the other terps (“terpenes”) and how you might get a better night of sleep of sleep by exploring some uniquely new and effective uses of the plant and the science.

WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 3: When Whiskey Joe’s ran out of beer in Tampa on Super Bowl XXXV Sunday

Nestor Aparicio

Many OG Baltimore sports fans would tell you this was the greatest day of their lives. The National Football League came back to Baltimore and we won Super Bowl XXXV on a glorious night in Tampa, Florida. But before the game, we threw a party so big that WJZ asked if they come and broadcast from it. The legend of Whiskey Joe’s and Super Bowl Sunday, January 28, 2001. Ask anyone who was lucky enough to be there…

WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 4: The night we brought Harbaugh, Tomlin and Billick together to share Super Bowl glory stories

Nestor Aparicio

In the aftermath of Jennifer Aparicio’s miraculous survival following a second bone marrow transplant, we were inspired to do a second “Night of Heroes” after leukemia survivor Chuck Pagano came back to Baltimore in 2015 to raise money and awareness for There Goes My Hero and the power of swabbing to save lives. If you missed one of the great nights in Baltimore vs. Pittsburgh sports partnerships in May 2016, you can relive it by watching three Super Bowl winning head coaches on one stage for a great cause. This was also the last public appearance of former Ravens president David Modell, who had some very important words, as did Super Bowl XXXV champion James Trapp, who also survived leukemia. A powerful evening.

WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 5: When Super Bowl XXXV Ravens head coach Brian Billick became our partner

Nestor Aparicio

Back in 2008 when head coach Brian Billick departed from the Baltimore Ravens and wanted to remain in Maryland, he became our partner at WNST.net on behalf of the Living Classrooms Foundation. As a legacy AM radio station that has now made it a quarter of a century as an enduring and truth-telling multimedia outlet on the strength of our partnerships, relationships and the benevolence of special people who serve to lift the community, we’re indebted to Coach Billick for his time, wisdom and integrity. Brian Billick never had any problem telling it like it is – and never lost sight of how important the Baltimore fan base and community were in his success as the Ravens head coach but also as a leader in the city where he brought us a Super Bowl XXXV parade.

Joe Flacco: Coming back to Baltimore to set the record straight on Cleveland

Baltimore Positive

We’ve been writing about and talking to Joe Flacco about football since the day he was drafted in Baltimore in 2008. After an amazing December run in Cleveland, our Super Bowl XLVII MVP comes back home to discuss what made his fairy tale ride with the Browns so special and to set the record straight on his Ravens’ fire and legacy as a winner.

WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 7: #JennStrong When you cared about more than just sports radio

Nestor Aparicio

On March 20th of this year, it’ll be ten years since Jennifer Aparicio was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia that was later traced back to her work as a project engineer in telecom at 9/11 and the World Trade Center in New York City. As she fought for her life and awaited the first of two bone marrow transplants from a miracle German man who saved her life, our WNST community rallied to get swabbed for the bone marrow registry and the local charity There Goes My Hero. Jenn is alive and well and visited with her DNA twin Niels in Europe recently for NFL football in Franfurt. Meanwhile, we remain incredibly grateful for the support of our community here at WNST Baltimore Positive that kept her spirits high and hopes alive during her gruesome battle. Hug the people you love!

Peter King: I could not find one team last offseason that wanted Lamar

Baltimore Positive

Brian Billick: The Super Bowl is a reach away for Lamar and Ravens revolution

Baltimore Positive

It’s been 23 years since that memorable night in Tampa when head coach Brian Billick led the Baltimore Ravens to their first Super Bowl crown. Now, with Lamar Jackson and the current squad on the cusp of reaching their own ring, our Head Coach discusses the path of the franchise to return to January glory and a home AFC Championship for Baltimore fans.

The civic victory in finally hosting an AFC Championship Game

Baltimore Positive

It took Baltimore nearly 53 years to earn the hosting privilege of the biggest football game that is not the Super Bowl. Bill Cole joins Nestor in celebrating the civic victory of the Ravens hosting the AFC Championship Game for the first time in their 28-year history in the Charm City.

WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 8: The day we turned WNST back on and Shannon Sharpe made the Ravens a real franchise

Nestor Aparicio

WNST-AM 1570 was originally leased by Nestor Aparicio from May 1998 through October 1999 and he had to bid farewell on the airwaves before being syndicated by One On One Sports and Sporting News Radio out of Chicago to return back to the local airwaves in September 2000 the same weekend the Ravens caught fire as a franchise against the Jacksonville Jaguars. That team would win Super Bowl XXXV four months later in Tampa. It was a special time to be the first and only station on the dial doing sports radio in the Charm City.

Cold winter, warm winners

Baltimore Positive

John Martin of Maryland Lottery talks big local winners, winning football and ways to have more fun with Keno this winter.

WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 9: The power of the WNST Text Service to break and deliver sports news

Nestor Aparicio

The founder of WNST is an old news hound who was trained by the best in the business in the 1980s at The News American and The Baltimore Sun. When the internet became a thing at the turn of the century and texting quickly became ubiquitous, Nestor Aparicio asked his listeners to join the WNST Text Service sponsored by Koons Ford of Security Blvd. No spam! Ever. It’s been over 18 years since we launched the most trusted source for breaking sports news in Baltimore. What was the big news that you heard first and where were you when you received the text? (And ask Nestor about the time he purposely launched one in the cafeteria at the Ravens’ Liars Luncheon with NFL schedule news to watch everyone in the room reach for their phones!)

WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 10: Our 10th Anniversary celebration at Sports Legends Museum

Nestor Aparicio

They said we’d never make it at WNST so when our 10th Anniversary on the Baltimore airwaves at AM 1570 also launched the all-new WNST.net on the internet, we took a chance to invite everyone downtown for a night of food, fans and good cheer to celebrate a decade of locally owned and operated sports radio in the Charm City. If you have any pictures of our night at Sports Legends Museum – there were a ton of celebrities and old-school listeners and friends in one place – we’d love to see and share them: nes@baltimorepositive.com

Wiping clean the lens on why those cameras were so wet and cloudy
