I think the deal with the Redskins radio team was this:

Sonny, Sam, and Frank had an aggregate age of about 230 years. While that meant they had spent (a whole lot of ) years building a passionate fan base, having three senior citizens as the voice of the franchise isn't a long term solution. And while Frank Herzog was hardly the weakest link in the booth (I won't argue with the case against Sam Huff at all), he also has the smallest fan base because of his role in the booth. So, by replacing the play-by-play voice, there will be a transitional voice for when Sam and/or Sonny need to be replaced due to age or infirmity.

Sucks to be Frank, sucks to be a listener. But a wise long term solution.
