Sports
KOGO is the official broadcast home for the San Diego State Aztecs basketball and football programs. However, some basketball games are transferred to KLSD if the football team is also playing at the same time, or if it is a weekday early-evening game on the West Coast.
KOGO carried San Diego Padres games from the team's debut in the National League in 1969 through 1978, then again in the early 2000s, before losing the rights to XEPRS-AM in 2003.
KOGO was also the radio home of the San Diego Chargers in the early 1980s. Ted Leitner handled play by play with Pat Curran in the booth. Pre and post game show duties were handled by Randy Hahn and Jim Laslavic. The games were eventually simulcast on KLZZ 106.5 FM. In 1985, XETRA took away the broadcast rights and Leitner was replaced by Lee Hamilton, who had come in from Phoenix.

“There be some sports are painful, and their labor
Delight in them sets off. Some kinds of baseness
Are nobly undergone, and most poor matters
Point to rich ends.”
