Oakland A's Ink 10-Year Deal with KTRB/San Francisco
The Oakland A's and KTRB-AM (XTRA Sports 860)/San Francisco have agreed to terms on a new 10-year contract for the station to acquire the radio broadcast rights for the Oakland A's Radio Network for the upcoming 2010-2019 seasons. XTRA Sports will broadcast all 162 regular season games, up to 20 Spring Training games and all post season games.
"This announcement represents a major milestone in the broadcast coverage of Oakland A's baseball," said team VP/Broadcasting and Communications Ken Pries. "In entering into this new long-term agreement with XTRA Sports 860, we will be providing the continuity and strong signal (50,000 watts) that A's fans want and deserve."
"This new agreement builds upon the strong foundation that we laid in 2009 as both a new sports station and the new radio home of the Oakland A's," said KTRB VP/GM Jim P. Pappas. "The station is now positioned to continue its growth into 2010 and beyond.
The Athletics' radio broadcast team returns intact for the 2010 season, featuring play-by-play announcers Ken Korach and Vince Cotroneo, as well as Ray Fosse, who joins the booth as an expert analyst for non-televised games. Korach enters his 15th season in the A's radio booth, his fifth as the club's lead play-by-play voice, while Cotroneo begins his fifth year as an Oakland A's play-by-play announcer. (11-18-09)
