"The Ticket 1050"
KNBR has long been linked with 680 AM. In 2003, several years after KNBR's parent company acquired the 1050 AM signal and converted it into KTCT, "The Ticket 1050", the company opted to re-brand that other station as another version of KNBR.
Both stations feature game broadcasts and sports talk, including shows hosted by Bay Area staples Ralph Barbieri, Tom Tolbert, and Damon Bruce. Some shows are simulcast on both 680 and 1050.
KNBR 1050 is the local home of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing, as well as the Sabercats. Some Warriors games and most of the 49ers preseason games are on 1050 AM, as the Giants have priority on 680 AM.

Famous quotes containing the word ticket:
“Having a thirteen-year-old in the family is like having a general-admission ticket to the movies, radio and TV. You get to understand that the glittering new arts of our civilization are directed to the teen-agers, and by their suffrage they stand or fall.”
—Max Lerner (b. 1902)
