In a surprising move on Thursday, the Golden State Warriors switched radio flagship stations from KNBR 680 to 95.7 The Game.
Growing up, listening on sports on the radio in Bay Area automatically meant turning the dial to KNBR 680, the 50,000 watt juggernaut and the flagship station of just about every local team.
But in recent years, the FM station 95.7 The Game has taken a fairly large piece of KNBR’s pie. Since it switched to sports programming in 2011 after securing the A’s radio broadcast, The Game has also snagged the Raiders and now has its biggest coup yet — persuading the Warriors to make the switch from its AM counterpart.
