San Francisco Pride is one of the largest and most iconic LGBTQ+ celebrations in the world, attracting more than 100,000 attendees annually through its Pride Parade and Festival weekend. Through this exclusive agreement, Connoisseur Media’s Bay Area stations — Top 40 KMVQ (99.7 NOW), Urban AC KBLX, & AC KOIT 96.5/San Francisco; Hot AC KEZR (Mix 106.5) & Classic Rock KUFX (98.5 K-Fox)/San Jose; Bay Country simulcast (KBAY/San Jose & KKDV/Walnut Creek), and AC duo 95.3 KUIC/Vacaville and 101.7 KKIQ/Pleasanton — will serve as the official radio partners for the event.
The partnership reflects Connoisseur Media’s ongoing commitment to supporting and celebrating the LGBTQ+ community throughout the Bay Area.
“San Francisco Pride is the kind of partnership that reflects who Connoisseur Media stands for in the Bay Area community,” said Market President Tina Murley. “We couldn’t be more honored that San Francisco Pride chose to partner with our stations. We are equally as proud of our Bay Area team, who eagerly jumped in to make this landmark partnership a possibility.”
“Connoisseur Media is honored to partner with San Francisco Pride and support an organization that plays such a vital role in celebrating diversity, fostering inclusion, and strengthening our community,” said Deidra Lieberman, Regional Director of Sales for Connoisseur Media West Coast. “Suzanne Ford‘s leadership has helped advance Pride’s mission in meaningful ways, and we have tremendous respect for her and the entire San Francisco Pride team for the impact they make throughout the year.”
The sponsorship provides Connoisseur Media with a major presence at one of the Bay Area’s most celebrated cultural events while creating new opportunities to connect listeners, advertisers, and community organizations through Pride programming and activations.
