On Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O:
#1 Charlie one thing you can say about the City of San Francisco hosting the NBA All Star Game there was a police presence in the late night hours around downtown and nearby Union Square. This is unusual to see that much coverage but the City doesn’t want any headlines during this high profile event.
# 2 The Golden State Warriors had struggled for much of this season until they recently picked up Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat. Since then Golden State are 2-1 with Butler and it has freed up Stephen Curry from being double or triple teamed.
#3 Charlie, longtime NBC Game of the Week Curt Gowdy had the Media Award named after him. This year the top recognized journalist is Adrian Wojnarowski a former ESPN writer. Wojnarowski worked at Yahoo! Sports in 2007 and retired last September. Gowdy worked as the play by play announcer for baseball and football on NBC.
#4 The Sacramento A’s announced they will be heard on Sacramento flagship station KSTE Talk 650 and the A’s will continue to broadcast on their former flagship station 960 KNEW Oakland with English broadcasters Ken Korach, Johnny Doskow, and Chris Caray. The pre and post game shows will be broadcasted by former A’s second baseman Shooty Babbitt and former Dodger second baseman Steve Sax.
#5 The A’s have made no decision on Spanish radio. The A’s are in negotiations with Multi Cultural Broadcasting and no word if there has been any agreement as to the amount of how much the A’s will pay for broadcasting rights or any agreement at all. The A’s who broadcast on 990 KATD Pittsburg and 1010 KIQI San Francisco during their Oakland days would be the two stations returning to Sacramento if the A’s and Multi Cultural come to some agreement.
