You Don't Need Binoculars to Hear This! How to Catch the San Francisco 49ers Game on the Radio
So, you're a die-hard 49er fan, eh? The scarlet and gold runs through your veins, and the mere mention of Montana or Rice sends shivers down your spine. But hold on a sec – maybe you can't make it to Levi's Stadium this time. Fear not, faithful fan! You can still experience the thrill of victory (and the agony of defeat) from the comfort of your own couch – by tuning into the radio!

There are more ways to listen to the game than touchdowns in a Steve Young season (which, let's face it, was a lot). Here's your rundown of how to snag that sweet, sweet play-by-play:
-
Dial Up the Dial: Fire up that old-school radio (or the fancy app that mimics one). The 49ers' flagship stations are KNBR 680 and KSAN 107.7 The Bone. These bad boys will bring you all the action, from the coin toss to the post-game locker room shenanigans (although those might be a tad more colorful in your imagination). Pro tip: If you're feeling fancy, these stations might even be available on your smart speaker.
-
Westwood One: This national radio network carries all the primetime and postseason games. So, if the 49ers are lighting it up under the Monday night lights, you can bet Westwood One will have it. Just check your local listings to find the affiliated station.
-
SiriusXM: For those who like their radio with a side of satellite, SiriusXM offers the NFL package, which includes a dedicated channel for the 49ers. Now you can tailgate from the comfort of your car (just don't forget the snacks!).
️ The Voices of the 49ers
Tuning in isn't just about the game, it's about the dulcet tones of the announcers who paint a vivid picture with their words. Here's a quick who's who on the 49ers radio broadcast:
-
The Announcer Crew: These guys will call the shots, literally! They'll describe every tackle, every touchdown, and every boneheaded penalty (because let's be honest, it wouldn't be football without a few of those).
-
The Color Analyst: This is your resident expert, there to break down the plays and offer insightful commentary. Think of them as the flavor packet to your radio ramen – they add a little somethin' somethin' extra.
-
The Sideline Reporter: They'll be down on the field, dodging flying footballs and interviewing sweaty coaches, bringing you those sideline whispers and juicy hot takes.
So there you have it, folks! With a little radio magic, you can be right in the heart of the action, cheering on your beloved 49ers. Now, crank up the volume, grab a beverage (or two), and get ready to yell at the radio like a true fan. Remember, even if the team stumbles, at least you don't have to deal with overpriced stadium nachos!
