Has anyone ever noticed how they raise the pitch of the voices on the pre-game shows? KNBR/Giants telecasts do the same thing. I’ve never figured out why. I know. Fascinating.

yeah i think this is a good sign that 95.7 is either going hard to land the w’s or maybe already have. too bad it looks as 95.7 is looking to build the station around the w’s rather than the a’s as even when the a’s were 4 months into the sports format in 2011, the “official reboot” in aug of 2011 we had hosts from the very start making fun of the a’s org and fanbase.
…
do wonder if this could have a ripple effect with knbr programming. is there a reason to keep fitz on 680 from noon-3 if the w’s aren’t onboard? he’s already dispised by most of the bay area w’s fans.
…
still wouldn’t be shocked if the game moves to 102.1 because of the better signal. don’t know how much better the signal is but def could see that happening soon too.

the w’s are very good at marketing and sales. they can always sell tix

Lacob is doing rolling announcements now… this week, they hired an architect. last week the stadium project manager.etc….after labor day or so they will announce the radio deal then the players will start rolling into Oakland by mid-Sep then the big dude from down under will land in 2 or 3 weeks….

if you listen to 95.7 they love to push the “major programming announcements” every other day then leave you hanging for awhile just to announce the giants grounds keeper will call in next week.

They might be able to keep it secret. I think we’ll probably hear it whispered before they announce it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was part of next week’s NBC Sports Radio announcement (assuming ML has connected the correct dots) or a little later than that. They’d need enough lead time before the Warriors start preseason at the beginning of October, but they probably don’t want to keep pushing “major programming announcements” or they lose their effect.

I think is based on hoping they do. But if an agreement was struck, think we would have heard of it. Probably getting close but its not done.

Lure the Warriors? I would think that a decision like this would only be done if they had already landed the Warriors.
