MLB A's Games To Air on Country FM

The A's announced a four-year agreement with KBWF 95.7 FM to be their new flagship radio station Thursday morning, according to a story by Joe Stiglich at the Oakland Tribune.

KBWF, known as 95.7 The Wolf, is a San Francisco-based country music station. The agreement takes effect for Friday's regular season opener against the Seattle Mariners, and the station will broadcast all 162 games.

All pregame and postgame programming, including Chris Townsend's call-in show, remains the same.

The announcement ends the uncertainty surrounding the A's radio situation and seemingly puts an end to the team's efforts to purchase KTRB 860 AM, its previous flagship station which is now in receivership.

Negotiations for a purchase went bad and the 2011 broadcasting agreement between the A's and KTRB dissolved, leaving the A's scrambling to find a replacement station just days before the regular season is to begin.
