The Nielsen numbers were released yesterday, and the gap between KNBR and KGMZ narrowed a little bit more. What does that mean? I don’t know, since the stations don’t even care about all ages, 6 am – midnight, seven days per week ratings (they only look at men age 25-54, and they only really care about 6 […]

Remember back in August of 2011, when KNBR decided Gary Radnich needed a co-host and moved Damon Bruce from 1050 to 680’s 9-to-noon show? It’s understandable if you don’t, since the two only hosted about 10 shows together, maybe even fewer. Radnich went on “vacation” after two weeks of working with Bruce, and that vacation […]
Golden State Warriors GM Bob Myers talked with Gary Radnich and Larry Krueger on KNBR this morning, making him the first member of management to speak publicly since the team reassigned assistant coach Brian Scalabrine to Santa Cruz. Myers spent a decent portion of the interview attempting to divert the topic of discussion away from […]
Well, well, well. It looks like these here Radio Wars just got a little more interesting! 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. You’ve […]
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. They’ve broken through with one successful show, “The Wheelhouse,” primarily because Greg Papa carries the […]
Deadspin was forced to make a correction to a weird story about KNBR today. A “tipster” sent over a memo letting the staff know that downloading pornography was grounds for termination. Here’s a photo of said memo: Tom Ley, the guy who wrote up a couple paragraphs on the memo for Deadspin, was skeptical from […]
Welcome back for the exciting conclusion of our 49ers season review! In parts one and two of the series, we analyzed the abject failure which came to define the 2013 San Francisco 49ers from every possible angle. Niners fans kept up a long tradition of calling KNBR to rage against imperfection. “You guys are right […]
Jim Barnett is past the halfway point in his last season as a color analyst for the Golden State Warriors. Yesterday he made an appearance on the Gary Radnich Show (with Larry Krueger), and at the end of the interview Radnich brought up Barnett’s potential replacement. No names were mentioned besides Tom Tolbert, who Radnich […]
Not only could most of us have predicted that the 49ers and Seahawks would face at some point in the playoffs, but we all braced for a barrage of memes, parody songs and overused, unfunny jokes. After a season full of trash talk, Instagram comparisons, airplane banners and billboards, the only question was how low people […]
