Entercom San Francisco has announced it will simulcast sports programming from 95.7 The Game on the AM dial. KGMZ-AM 1550 The Game will feature the station’s weekday shows and serve as the backup location for Oakland Athletics play-by-play scheduling conflicts. 95.7 The Game is the home of the A’s and Golden State Warriors, and with the defending NBA champions involved in another playoff run, occasional headaches are created when the two teams play on the same evening. With the addition of 1550, The Game now has a second outlet to satisfy both franchises.
“With the overlap of play-by-play between our athletic partners, we launched sports content on the AM frequency to provide our fans with more options to listen to all of their favorite games,” said Gregory Nemitz, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Entercom San Francisco. “This also gives us the opportunity in the future to create additional exclusive programming on 1550-AM to super serve Bay Area sports fans.”
The Game’s weekday lineup is as follows:
6:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Joe Fortenbaugh, Lorenzo Neal and Dan Dibley
10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Matt Steinmetz & Daryle “The Guru” Johnson
12:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. The Greg Papa Show with Greg Papa and Bonta Hill
3:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. The Damon Bruce Show
7:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. Evenings with Chris Townsend
