Cumulus SF to Mega-cast NFC Title Game
Posted by on January 20, 2012 – 7:48 PMIn an unprecedented media event, Cumulus San Francisco will air a Mega-cast of the NFC Championship Game on all 6 of its Bay Area stations, it was announced today by Lee Hammer, Director of Operations.
The San Francisco 49ers will play the New York Giants for the NFC Championship this Sunday (1/22/12) at Candlestick Park. The announcement by Cumulus means the game will now air on flagship stations KNBR 680/1050 and 107.7 The Bone as well as KGO 810, KSFO 560 and KFOG 104.5/97.7.
With their beloved San Francisco 49ers playing exceptional post season football, the passion of the 49er Faithful has escalated to an extraordinary pitch. The idea of opening up the broadcast to a 6 station Mega-cast seemed a natural for Cumulus.
“The 49ers are thrilled with this unprecedented promotion to have the NFC Championship Game heard virtually everywhere in the market,” said Director of Broadcasting Bob Sargent. “We are unaware of any NFL team that has had this kind of support from its radio partner. We are thankful to Cumulus for their support to bring such exposure to the 49ers and our loyal fans throughout the region.”
All 6 stations will begin pre-game coverage at 2:30 p.m. followed by the kickoff at 3:30 p.m.
KNBR will offer extended coverage, including live updates from the field, beginning at 9 a.m. Sunday morning.

I love the spirit in which the community have come together to support our team the San Francisco Fortyniers. May we continue to come together for worthy causes such as this. May God, The Almighty continue to bless us with his grace and mercy.
From Tonga with Love

I have always believed in the Forty Niners and knew there day would come again, I just wish Bill Walsh was alive to see it happen. I live in Monterey California and met Bill Walsh a few times since he lived just minutes away. I will be having a huge super bow pary and this year it will be MY TEAM in it! GO NINERS YOU ROCK!

I don’t think I’ve EVER seen a community come together so much for a team.
Everyone I see is wearing 49er gear, buttons, colors, etc and high five-ing total strangers in our Mall. The fact the Cumulus is throwing open the market for broadcast of the game is honoring a team that has been the comeback team of the year.
Send our guys positive thought reinforcement as they play…..if you’re at the game, holler when the Giant Offense in on the field to make it hard for the Giants to call the play…when our Offense is on the field, keep it down during the count ,so they can keep the rhythm going…then holler like crazy to support them.
Gooooooooo Niners….You guys are the Little Engine that Could ! Just gotta love ‘em !
