S-F Radio: KGMZ Inks Multi-Year Deal With NBA Warriors

Entercom and the six-time NBA champion Golden State Warriors have announced a multiyear broadcast extension. As part of the agreement, KGMZ 95.7 The Game, will continue to serve as the flagship station for Warriors basketball.

“The Warriors are the premiere franchise in this market and have emerged as one of the elite sports brands worldwide,” said Greg Nemitz, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Entercom San Francisco. “As the team embarks on a new era at Chase Center, we’re proud and excited to continue bringing our listeners exclusive, unparalleled coverage of the team both on and off the court.”

“We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our relationship with 95.7 The Game over the last three seasons and look forward to the continued growth and evolution of our partnership as we open the doors to Chase Center,” said Rick Welts, President and Chief Operating Officer, Golden State Warriors. “Most importantly, our fans will continue to benefit from the comprehensive and dedicated coverage of our team 365 days a year and, hopefully, through many exciting playoff runs on The Game.”

95.7 The Game has served as the radio home of the Warriors since 2016. As part of the agreement, the station will continue providing play-by-play coverage of the team and exclusive Warriors programming, including one hour of coverage prior to each of the existing 30-minute pregame and postgame programs. Play-by-play announcer Tim Roye will return for his 25th season calling Warriors basketball – joined by Jim Barnett – and will remain a regular contributor on 95.7 The Game weekday programming during the season and on select offseason dates. 95.7 The Game reporter John Dickinson will continue as the station’s dedicated Warriors reporter, covering both home and road games as well as practices throughout the season. 

In addition to game broadcasts, the agreement also includes enhanced in-season daily Warriors programming on 95.7 The Game, which will feature both Warriors and NBA-themed shows, “Warriors Wednesdays” and offseason content centered around the draft, free agency and Summer League. The station will also continue select in-season call-in shows.
