As the Athletics organization awaits the construction of a new ballpark to relocate to Las Vegas, Nev., the team will be calling Sacramento, Calif. Home for the next three seasons. The team has signed a deal with iHeartRadio that will broadcast all spring training, regular season and potential postseason contests on Talk 650 KSTE in addition to A’s Cast within the iHeart Radio Network.
Ken Korach, the longtime radio voice of the Athletics, is going to be returning for the 2025 season, and he will be joined by Johnny Doskow and Chris Caray in the broadcast booth as well. Athletics games will also continue airing in the Bay Area on iHeart Sports 960, which served as the flagship home of the team when it was located in Oakland, Calif.
Talk 650 KSTE and A’s Cast will also be broadcasting various programming surrounding the team, including A’s Cast Live running for two-and-a-half hours before every weeknight game. Both stations are also going to carry 30-minute pregame and postgame shows surrounding the contests, along with the A’s Clubhouse Show and A’s After Dark immediately thereafter. Shooty Babbitt and Steve Sax will be joining the broadcast team to contribute to this studio programming. The deal between the organization and iHeartRadio will span for the duration of the team’s time in Sacramento, according to Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee.
There have not been any changes announced to the television broadcasts of Athletics games, and most contests for the team will air on NBC Sports California. Announcers listed for these games include the aforementioned Caray, who recently completed his first season as a television play-by-play announcer for the team, along with Jenny Cavnar and Dallas Braden. The team will play its home games from Sutter Health Park beginning this season, which also serve as the home of the Sacramento River Cats, the Triple-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants.
