Baltimore's TV Experts: The Big Screen Store as Seen on WBAL and Fox 45
When Baltimore and Washington area residents want to know what TV to buy, local news stations know where to turn. The Big Screen Store has been featured on WBAL TV 11 News and WBFF Fox 45 as the region's trusted source for home entertainment expertise — and that trust reflects decades of experience serving Maryland and Virginia families.

WBAL TV 11 News anchor Jenyne Donaldson sat down with The Big Screen Store's Jason Brager ahead of Super Bowl season to talk through what Baltimore-area shoppers should be looking for in a new TV — and when the best time to buy actually is. The segment covered the dramatic drop in large-screen TV prices, the technology differences between today's premium TVs, and why buying locally from an expert beats the guesswork of shopping online.
Key points Jason covered on WBAL:
The price of large-screen TVs has dropped dramatically. A 98-inch Samsung TV that cost $10,000 to $15,000 just a few years ago is now available for under $2,000. That shift has made truly cinematic home viewing accessible to a much wider range of households.
Go bigger than you think. The single most common regret customers have is not buying a large enough TV. Modern 4K screens can be viewed comfortably at much closer distances than older 1080p sets, and the near-bezel-free design means an 85-inch TV takes up barely more wall space than a 65-inch TV from five years ago.
Don't neglect the sound. TVs have gotten thinner and better looking, but the speakers have gotten worse as a result. A soundbar is no longer optional if you want to actually hear what you're watching.

Fox 45 News visited The Big Screen Store's Glen Burnie location ahead of football season to showcase the store's lineup and speak with Jason Brager about what makes The Big Screen Store different from the big-box competition. The segment highlighted the store's unbeatable pricing on large-screen Samsung TVs, the in-store experience, and the complete home theater setups available — from TVs and soundbars to home theater seating and furniture.
Fox 45 specifically highlighted a 98-inch Samsung TV available for just $1,999 — a price that would have seemed impossible just a few years ago — along with The Big Screen Store's guaranteed delivery and 11 convenient Baltimore and Washington area locations.
Why local news trusts The Big Screen Store
Local news stations don't feature just any retailer when they need a TV expert. They call The Big Screen Store because our team has the depth of knowledge that comes from doing this exclusively for decades. We're not a general electronics retailer. We don't sell appliances or laptops or cell phones. We sell TVs, audio, and home theater — and we've been doing it longer than most of our competitors have existed.
Jason Brager has been in the home entertainment business for over 25 years. When WBAL or Fox 45 needs someone to explain the difference between OLED and Neo QLED in plain English, or to advise viewers on when to buy and what to look for, Jason is the call they make.
What that means for you as a customer
When you walk into The Big Screen Store, you get the same caliber of advice that Baltimore's local news stations trust enough to put on air. Our team will ask you the right questions — about your room, your viewing habits, your lighting, your budget — and give you a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
We don't work on commission. We don't have a quota to hit on a particular model. We have a 15-day love-it-or-exchange-it guarantee because we're confident in the recommendations we make — and we want you to be too.
