Despite their move from Oakland to Sacramento while awaiting construction of their new stadium in Las Vegas, MLB’s Athletics will continue their relationship with iHeartMedia.

Conservative Talk 650 KSTE Sacramento will take over as the franchise’s broadcast home for the 2025 season. Games will also continue to be heard in the Bay Area on “iHeart Sports 960” KNEW, which had been the flagship for the Oakland Athletics from 2020 through 2024, and the “A’s Cast” stream on iHeartRadio.

Longtime voice of the franchise Ken Korach as well as Johnny Doskow and Chris Caray will continue to cover Athletics games. KSTE and A’s Cast will carry thirty minute pre and post-game shows for all games with the streaming channel also carrying “A’s Cast Live” for two and half hours before all weeknight games, the “A’s Clubhouse Show” after games, and “A’s After Dark” after every home game. A’s scout Shooty Babbitt and former MLB infielder and West Sacramento native Steve Sax will join as contributors to the pre and postgame shows. […]

Fresh Listen: Athens Radio

February 14, 2025 radionewsfeeds Comments Off on Fresh Listen: Athens Radio

When I went to Radiodays Europe for the first time two years ago, I found a favorite radio station. Prague’s Europa 2 was playing a Top 40 mix very different than anything available in North America, including still having some pop/rock component. I’ve gotten an early start on my listening for this year’s Radiodays, to be held in Athens on March 9-11, and I’ve already found at least one station that I think will be a ROR readers’ favorite.

Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks to host weekend show together on KISS

February 14, 2025 radionewsfeeds Comments Off on Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks to host weekend show together on KISS

Olivia Attwood and Pete Wick are getting together to host their own show every weekend on KISS.
The pair are known for appearing on reality television programmes, including The Only Way is Essex
The news was revealed this morning on the KISS Breakfast Show with Jordan and Perri. Pete said: ‘I don’t know why they’ve trusted us with this, but we’re going to have our own show on Sunday’s, 2 til 5. We’re part of the KISS family baby!
Olivia agreed: ‘We’re learning on the job so bear with us, but there’s going to be LOLs, us being mean to each other. The not swearing is going to be tricky…’
‘We signed the contract and clearly didn’t read it,’ points out Pete. ‘But I promise you it’s going to be good and we’re having loads of fun doing it.
Sunday Roast is set to launch the day after the BRIT Awards and Liv reveals that it was a decision that KISS bosses may come to regret as she usually needs ‘two to three working days off grid after a night out so we might just have to go straight through…’
Olivia Attwood: ‘I’d like to say that having my own show on KISS was a dream come true, but then I’d be saying I dream about Pete Wicks and that is definitely not something I’d be admitting too. However, I will enjoy getting the chance to wind him up every week because annoyed Pete always makes me laugh, so make sure you’re with us every Sunday for chat, celebrity guests and no doubt too much information about what we’ve been up to over the last seven days.’
Pete Wicks said: ‘Not entirely sure who thought it was a good idea to let me loose on the radio or how I feel about having to see Liv every Sunday, but other than that I am obviously delighted to be joining KISS and enjoying a Sunday Roast with anyone who wants to listen in. See you Sunday 2nd March – hopefully we’ll have made it back from the BRIT Awards in time for the show…’
KISS Content Director, Rebecca Frank said: ‘Having been a fan of both Liv and Pete for a long time I knew they’d be a brilliant partnership on the radio, and in The Sunday Roast we’ve found the perfect show for them.
“Have I had second thoughts about putting them live on-air the day after the BRIT Awards? Honestly, yes. But where’s the fun in knowing your presenters will show up?! I can’t wait to listen in and find out what they’ve been up to! Welcome to Team KISS Liv and Pete.”
