“I will never listen again. I wish I could give 0 stars. They got rid of Tolbert and Lund today, and Tolbert has carried them for 28 years. They also have gotten rid of some of the best for no reason including Ralph Barbieri, Ray Ratto, Rod Brooks, Larry Krueger and John Lund. I am unfollowing on...”Read full review »

“Been a long time listener, and love the content, staff, and insight. I've also had the pleasure of meeting many of the on-air personalities over the years.
My biggest complaint are the commercials. Not that they exist, I understand ad revenue, but the timing and volume. They come out of...”Read full review »

“The Ads are a dealbreaker… loud… dropped in randomly… sometimes mid WORD….More than once in the middle of a Jon Miller home run call on the Post Game Wrap….I’ll still listen sometimes but the days of being locked into KNBR are over for me…”

“The amount of commercials vs the total clip length, is too high. And they commercials are dropped in out of nowhere. It ruins the listening experience.”

“Man. KNBR giants coverage is top notch. But seriously, postgame highlights and postgame wrap NEED to be posted after every game. Seriously, no one is willing to spend a few weekend hours to get these posted??”

I also agree with the review that Papa's comments about sex and women can be pretty gross. I agree with...”Read full review »

They will literally broadcast a full slate of commercials, updates and whatnot, then the hosts will talk about...”Read full review »

“Typically really good, bay area focused, sports content. I enjoy the interviews and being able to get nice bite sized sports radio when I need it. It’s classic AM sports in a modern format.
Their biggest downfall is the amount of ads. I don’t mind some but they are obnoxious, often just cutting...”Read full review »
