415 Media Extra: Secret Meeting Involving Spanish-Media Reps and KNBR and 95.7 FM 'The Game'

Bay Area Sports Radio Stations: KNBR or 95.7 The Game?

TWO, MAYBE THREE, SPANISH-SPEAKING HEDGE-FUND MOGULS, repping "significant" Spanish media, including radio, met with Top Brass of BOTH Entercom's FM All-Sports 95.7 FM, "The Game" and more mysteriously, its AM All-Sports" competitor, KNBR, the Cumulus-owned counterpart, recently in a secret SF office building. How secret? Only the participants knew and had to get access to a private location in pandemic-laden downtown near the Giants' ballpark, 415 Media has learned.

The men, who wore distinctive black suit and ties were joined by two women, also Spanish -speaking and who arrived to the meeting via SFO --they flew into SFO from LAX and at the end of the day, were whisked back to the airport and were seen laughing and laughing as they boarded a private plane back to LAX.

Laughing and laughing women --interesting because their counterpart men were observed with stern looks on their faces upon exiting the building near the 88 Bluxome address in South of Market.

Inside the meeting, we have no idea of what was discussed but it was an ALL-DAY event and I can assure you they weren't exchanging oatmeal cookie recipes.

I'll keep you up to date as I get more info which I hopefully will.

  6. More likely, "ESPN en Español 1050". The little station from Menlo-Atherton High School, with the WWII-era big band music, gets better ratings. Way past time to pull the plug on the moribund "KNBR 1050".

  7. KNBR has the Niners and 95.7 has the Warriors. Both teams would be valuable properties to a Spanish station looking to make some revenue from sports advertising. In the Covid-19 world of broadcasting, everyone is looking for an edge.

  8. Oh no, one morning I'll turn on 95.7 The Game and start hearing Spanish. Kind of like when KFRC 1550 AM went Indian raga overnight.
