Bay Area natives Kevin Frandsen and Drew Hoffar will host a new evening show, "KNBR Tonight," on KNBR-AM San Francisco. The show debuts Monday, August 14 and will air weekdays from 7-10pm PT and immediately following weekday San Francisco Giants post-game programming. Frandsen played for the San Francisco Giants from 2006-2009, LA Angels (2010), Phillies (2012-2013) and Nationals (2014) before ending his 10-year MLB career with the Giants in 2015. He previously co-hosted on KNBR's morning show "The Audible" and has filled in regularly on KNBR for the past two years.

Hoffar grew up in San Leandro and is a 12-years veteran talent who most recently served as lead host on KNBR 1050's morning show "The Audible" alongside Frandsen. Hoffar previously held anchor and host positions at KGMZ in San Francisco and KHTK in Sacramento.

Program Director Jeremiah Crowe said, "Drew and Kevin are primed to make a huge impact in their new roles within KNBR Tonight. Their work ethic is unmatched and both are committed to the smallest of details that will generate a great listener experience. They are Bay Area natives whose personalities are relatable to the common fan, yet they each possess a vast knowledge of the overall sports landscape. I'm equally excited to see what they will provide us digitally and I applaud Cumulus San Francisco for putting them in a position to shine."

Frandsen commented, "In my time as a major leaguer, I prided myself on performing in several roles as a utility player. Since arriving at KNBR. I've had the pleasure of working with some of the format's most established personalities across a variety of timeslots. This evening post on KNBR Tonight is a chance to advance my relationship with one of the best young talents in radio, connect with the best sports fans in the country and move the KNBR brand forward into the digital age."

Hoffar said, "As a lifelong KNBR 680 listener and San Leandro native, I'm thrilled to have this opportunity to reach so many die-hard Bay Area sports fans on a nightly basis. Hosting evenings on KNBR carries a responsibility to serve fans the quality content they deserve as the daily news cycle hits a close."
