The new radio home of Your Oakland Athletics (If I had anything to do with it)

In case of conflict, they could broadcast the Sharks on 98.5, and the A’s on 102.1.

My guess is that there would be a limited number of conflicts, especially this season since the Sharks don’t look strong enough at present to make a run deep into the playoffs.

The A’s radio hopscotch has got to end. They need to cut a deal with a staple of the Bay Area market that has a decent transmitter. It’s far past time.

Sacramento would need its own affiliate, if they don’t already have one.

since, according to Blez and others, Wolff browses the site not so infrequently, it would be good for this to be brought to his attention. It’s a very good idea and would make the listening experience SO MUCH more enjoyable! Maybe Blez, or someone else, could email this too him.

I don’t think stations can feed their MLB gamecasts online.

its just the games that MLB blacks out.

$25 gets you the package of all teams, andf another $25 or so for the smart phone app.

I do think there are some great advantages to owning their own station, and it would be great to see it grow. But really, I don’t care what they do or where they go (assuming they’re trying to make things better) as long as they keep Chris Townsend.

But right now the station seems to be completely off the air after sundown. Maybe that’s because of the receivership situation.

Since if we did, the A’s could hire him to do said shows.

Those odd shapes on the radio coverage maps (especially the K-Fox one) are due mainly to the terrain. For the best transmission, the best thing to do would be to place the transmitter on the highest points in the area, like Mt Tam, Mt Diablo, and Mt Hamilton. Of course, other factors may prevent siting the transmitters there, so people then make choices that compromise the transmission. For example, in the KFDC map, there is a divot in the coverage to the northwest of the transmitter tower location (the red plus sign). This is most likely due to Mt Tam being in the way of the signal. Also, even though the map shows great coverage of K-Fox from San Jose all the way to Santa Cruz, I can tell you for a fact that the K-Fox signal drops out just beyond the summit of highway 17, and doesn’t pick up very well until around Scotts Valley. This also affects AM stations during the day time – KNBR is very weak going across highway 17 from Santa Cruz until you get to the other side of the summit, and KTRB is non-existent. The signal extends out farther across the ocean simply because there is nothing in the way.

The #Athletics remain the best bet to get ownership of KTRB but the legal process is a long one with the station in receivership.

Except sometimes it would take them an hour to track him down and he’d do calls while lying in the hotel bed, half asleep.

After the baseball season, KFRC-FM was sold to KCBS, so the FM station now plays 24 hour news and traffic reports.
