Tom Tolbert Extends Deal with KNBR FM & AM San Francisco


Cumulus Media announces that Tom Tolbert, popular sports radio personality heard on San Francisco's KNBR 104.5FM & 680AM The Sports Leader, has signed a multi-year deal with the company. Tolbert has been with KNBR since 1996 and currently co-hosts Tolbert, Krueger & Brooks with Larry Krueger and Rod Brooks weekdays from 2pm-6pm. He also serves as host of KNBR's Dubs Countdown to Tipoff pre-game shows.

Tolbert played as a Forward in the NBA for seven years, and later served as a color commentator for NBA telecasts at NBC, ABC and ESPN.

KNBR Program Director Jeremiah Crowe said, "Tom is the heart and soul of the KNBR brand and we're excited to have him stay in the family here at The Sports Leader. He has a special bond with Bay Area sports fans and his unrivaled passion for the game can be heard every weekday during Tolbert, Krueger & Brooks. We are extremely proud to extend our relationship with Tom for years to come."

"I'm so happy to be able to sign a deal that will keep me here for the foreseeable future," said Tolbert. "KNBR has been my home for the past 23 years and I can't imagine being anywhere else. The people at this station are the reason it's fun coming to work every day, and they're the reason why I can't see myself doing this anywhere else."
