For the past six years, Kate Scott has been a mainstay on KNBR 680’s weekday programming in San Francisco. She’s been an anchor and on-air contributor to Murph and Mac’s morning show, and Gary and Larry’s midday show, and even stepped into the 49ers broadcast booth to call a few preseason games, becoming the third female to call NFL action.
But as they say, all good things must come to an end.
Scott has revealed that she’s moving on from the radio station. In a post on Twitter, she said that she loved her time with the station, and grew up listening to it, and the past six years have been an absolute dream. She credited her co-workers for helping her advance her career and the audience for their passion, honesty and willingness to connect with her and help her become a better broadcaster.
As far as the future is concerned, Scott says she’ll be busy calling women’s basketball games during the week and anchoring Sports Report on Sunday’s on the Pac-12 Network. She’ll also provide play by play of select men’s basketball games on CSN Bay Area and CSN California, plus plans to add softball play by play on Pac-12 to the list soon.
