KNBR is the longtime radio home of the San Francisco Giants. Giants broadcasters and former Giants Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow, affectionately known as "Kruk and Kuip", usually do the commentary on the TV broadcast. San Francisco native and Baseball Hall of Fame broadcaster Jon Miller and the most recent addition, Dave Flemming, do the majority of the radio broadcasts, but the 4 of them interchange fairly frequently. At the end of every game, they all sit together for the "Post-Game Wrap", aired on KNBR and televised on CSN Bay Area.
Tim Roye is the radio play-by-play announcer for the Golden State Warriors, and is joined by Jim Barnett on non-televised games as Barnett serves as an analyst for TV broadcasts.
A vast array of announcers participate in San Jose SaberCats broadcasts, including Tim Roye, Bob Fitzgerald, Ray Woodson, Keena Turner, George Atkinson, and Troy Clardy.
In 2005, KNBR became the official radio home of the San Francisco 49ers. All games are also heard on sister station KSAN "107.7 The Bone"; some AM broadcasts may be moved to KTCT due to conflicts with Giants games. 49ers games were broadcast by Joe Starkey and Gary Plummer for four seasons until Starkey's retirement following the 2008 season. In the 2009 season, former Giants baseball and world-class tennis announcer Ted Robinson took over for Starkey as the play-by-play announcer.
KNBR 680 is an affiliate of ESPN Radio, and carries selected content and games from the national network. KNBR 1050 is also an affiliate of ESPN Radio, but also carries The Jim Rome Show and Fox Sports Radio/DirecTV program The Dan Patrick Show (it also carried Into the Night with Tony Bruno during its' entire syndicated run).
Both KNBR and KTCT are slated to become charter affiliates of CBS Sports Radio, a joint venture between CBS Radio and Cumulus, starting on January 2, 2013.

Famous quotes containing the words sports and/or content:
“It was so hard to pry this door open, and if I mess up I know the people behind me are going to have it that much harder. Because then there’s living proof. They can sit around and say, “See? It doesn’t work.” I don’t want to be their living proof.”
—Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 87 (June 17, 1991)
“Strange that so few ever come to the woods to see how the pine lives and grows and spires, lifting its evergreen arms to the light,—to see its perfect success; but most are content to behold it in the shape of many broad boards brought to market, and deem that its true success! But the pine is no more lumber than man is, and to be made into boards and houses is no more its true and highest use than the truest use of a man is to be cut down and made into manure.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
