KNBR & Niners Mutually Extend

• The San Francisco 49ers this week announced a multi-year partnership extension with Cumulus Sports-Talk KNBR-AM/FM (The Sports Leader)/San Francisco, the 49ers’ radio flagship since 2005. Legendary broadcasters Greg Papa and Tim Ryan will continue calling live Niners’ games, as well as pre-and post-game shows.

“We at KNBR are tremendously excited to continue this valued partnership with the Niners,” said Larry Blumhagen, RVP/Market Manager, Cumulus San Francisco-Los Angeles. “We have a wonderful relationship with the organization and its people, and they are truly a partner to us in connecting their fans with all the gameday action they love and demand. We look forward to continuing to provide 49ers fans with outstanding gameday coverage on all KNBR platforms from AM/FM to streaming.”

This announcement comes as the 49ers and KNBR gear up for the NFL Draft from April 23-25. John Dickinson, Larry Krueger and Todd Husak will broadcast from 49ers headquarters in Santa Clara and feature interviews with Head Coach Kyle Shanahan, GM John Lynch, and whomever the Niners select in the first round. KNBR will also hold a Draft Watch Party at Jack’s Restaurant & Bar in San Jose.

“As our flagship station for more than 20 years, KNBR is woven into the fabric of the 49ers organization and what it means to be Faithful,” said Brent Schoeb, 49ers Chief Operating Officer. “KNBR has been there for every 49ers moment since 2005, from spectacular individual plays and broken records to playoff wins and our move to Levi’s® Stadium. We are thrilled to extend our long-term partnership and look forward to more legendary calls from Greg and Tim on gamedays.”
