A’s announce new radio partnerships for upcoming season

MESA, Ariz. — The A’s announced Friday morning that KTRB 860, the club’s radio home from 2009-10, will broadcast all of their games this upcoming season. That deal will expand to KHTK-AM 1140 up in the Sacramento area, making it the largest coverage map the A’s have ever had.

In addition to games on traditional radio, the A’s also announced a partnership with TuneIn, a free live audio streaming service, to launch a 24/7 exclusive A’s station which will include free streaming of all A’s games for those living within their territory. The station will also produce exclusive team programming.

The A’s are the first team in MLB to have an exclusive partnership with a free streaming service.

“Our new partnerships with KTRB 860, KHTK-AM 1140, and TuneIn significantly amplify our coverage and reach, ensuring that every Spring Training and regular season game will be available throughout Northern California. These partnerships will allow us to reach A’s fans from as far north as Butte and Mendocino Counties across the Bay Area and down to Fresno and Monterey, with both terrestrial and free streaming broadcasts,” A’s COO Chris Giles said in a statement. “We are also thrilled to launch a 24/7 A’s channel on TuneIn and deliver exclusive content and unprecedented coverage throughout the season.”

Listeners will have to pay a monthly fee to access TuneIn’s premium service for game coverage.
