The San Francisco 49ers have a new home on the radio in California’s state capital. SacTown Sports 1140 is now the Sacramento radio home of the team. The two sides announced a multiyear agreement on Wednesday.
“SacTown Sports is now the home for the Sacramento Kings, San Francisco 49ers, and live and local sports programming from 6 am to 6 pm each weekday,” Steve Cottingim, Bonneville’s Senior Vice President and Market Manager in Sacramento, said in a press release. “Our commitment to sports in Northern California has never been bigger and we are thrilled to be partners with one of the NFL’s premiere franchises to continue the growth of SacTown Sports.”
49ers talk has been a staple of the station long before the deal was made. 49ers play by play voice Greg Papa, 49ers DT Arik Armstead, and 49ers podcast host Rob “Stats” Guerrera make regular appearances on the station during the football season. SacTown Sports also produces a podcast about the team called Return of the Empire.
“We are always happy to welcome Sacramento-based fans who travel to Levi’s Stadium for home games, but for those who can’t normally make the trip, we are excited to bring gamedays to them with new radio broadcasts on SacTown Sports,” team president Al Guido said. “As experts in quality, entertaining, and informative sports coverage, SacTown Sports and Bonneville International will be the perfect partners to help us connect with existing and new 49ers fans in the area.”
The station will carry every regular and postseason San Francisco 49ers game beginning with the 2023 season.
