5.3K54Changing The Game: Sounds like Ric Bucher will leave 95.7, join Bleacher Report Radio
Update (9/2 – 9:20 am): Ric Bucher was on 95.7 The Game this morning, which means either he is either staying for good or will join Bleacher Report Radio in the coming weeks. I’m willing to guess it’s the latter, but we’ll see. *** Thanks to BA Rich for allowing us to play detective a […]

Tuesday morning, our fearless leader sent shockwaves through the sports talk radio community (meh) and effectively brought Twitter to its knees in the process (not really) when he broke the news of a huge shakeup at 95.7 The Game.

10.6K3595.7 The Game tidbits: Bruce gets big raise, they also wanted Krueger
95.7 The Game has been mired in ratings mediocrity since scrapping their previous format to go all-sports and compete with KNBR, a West Coast juggernaut that has several built-in advantages including the region’s most popular teams and a strong signal.

Huge shakeup at 95.7 The Game – Damon Bruce in, Rise Guys out

5.7K10995.7 “The Game” replacing Matt Steinmetz and Sean O’Connell, but with whom?
According to All Access, 95.7 “The Game” (KGMZ) has dropped their 10-to-noon show featuring Matt Steinmetz and Sean O’Connell and will announce a replacement tomorrow morning. Steinmetz’s and O’Connell’s names have been removed from The Game’s website. Complimenting the duo’s chemistry yesterday was probably the kiss of death. Sorry guys, that wasn’t my intention.
