His first day back on air was Friday, September 8. Each report features Madden's signature style football analysis and candid sports commentary. The live segments air with several repeats throughout the day. Madden previously hosted live morning drive sports reports on KCBS from August 1997 through July 2016.

"With the start of football season, I thought it was the right time to come back to radio. I am excited to be back with KCBS," commented Madden.

"John Madden is like family to KCBS. His passion for football, stories new and old, and ability to discuss the games' behind-the-scenes and on-field strategy is second to none," said CBS Radio San Francisco Senior VP/Market Manager Doug Harvill. "He also has a keen sense of humor and is well known for his 'Maddenism' quotes that keep our listeners both informed and entertained. We are thrilled that he is back in action and bringing his unique sports banter back to ALL NEWS KCBS."

Madden excelled during his tenure as head coach of the NFL's Oakland Raiders. He steered the Raiders to an overall record of 108-32-7, leading the team to seven AFC Western Division titles and a victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl XI. His winning percentage (.750) is the best of any head coach in NFL history. Madden has been honored by The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences with 16 Outstanding Sports Personality/Analyst Emmy Awards and in recognition of his coaching career, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006. Madden also worked as a color analyst for all four major television networks including CBS, FOX, ABC and NBC.
