Oakland Radio: MLB A's Announce 2019 Radio Partners

The MLB Oakland A’s have a new radio home for the 2019 season.

The A’s announced Friday morning that Salem Media's KTRB 860 AM The Answer, the club’s radio home from 2009-10, will broadcast all of their games this upcoming season. That deal will expand to Bonneville's Sports KHTK 1140 AM in the Sacramento area, making it the largest coverage map the A’s have ever had, according to The Mercury News.

In addition to games on traditional radio, the A’s also announced a partnership with TuneIn, a free live audio streaming service, to launch a 24/7 exclusive A’s station which will include free streaming of all A’s games for those living within their territory. The station will also produce exclusive team programming.

The A’s are the first team in MLB to have an exclusive partnership with a free streaming service.
