"I am very happy to be working with WPAZ-1370 out of Pottstown," said John Curtis, Director of Broadcasting for the Reading Royals. "Our goal is to allow fans in Reading and the surrounding areas to have easy access to follow their team. Teaming up with WPAZ allows us to come closer to achieving that."
