Cumulus Media’s KNBR The Sports Leaderannounces that it has signed a multi-year extension with the San Francisco Giants as the Major League Baseball powerhouse’s flagship radio station. KNBR has been the official radio broadcast home for the Giants since 1979.
The longstanding partnership between KNBR and the Giants has delivered live game broadcasts with some of the most monumental events in Giants history, called by legendary broadcasters Jon Miller, Dave Flemming, Mike Krukow, and Duane Kuiper, pre-game and post-game shows and off-season programming including Giants’ Hot Stove.
Larry Baer, San Francisco Giants President and CEO, said: “We are excited to continue our incredible partnership with KNBR, and thrilled KNBR remains our flagship station for Giants fans at least through the 2028 season. Led by the best broadcast team in all of Major League Baseball, KNBR offers our fans unique and insightful coverage not only throughout the season but the entire year.”
Larry Blumhagen, Regional Vice President/Market Manager, Cumulus San Francisco/Los Angeles, commented: “All of us at KNBR are elated to know we are committed having Giants baseball through our 50th year together in 2028. We look forward to providing Giants fans with gameday coverage on all our platforms from AM/FM to streaming.”
Mike Hohler, Program Director, KNBR, remarked: “Growing up listening to Giants baseball on KNBR, I have vivid memories of childhood summer days spent listening to Hank Greenwald paint the picture of Will Clark hitting a ball into the upper deck at Candlestick Park. It means a great deal to me to be at the helm of KNBR when signing an extension that keeps these two legendary brands together through the 50th year of our partnership. It’s a proud moment for me not only as the Program Director for KNBR, but as a lifelong Giants fan.”
