All News 106.9 – KCBS 740 AM live

KCBS is the San Francisco Bay Area's all-news station. It broadcasts on 740 AM and on 106.9 FM, branded "All News 106.9 and AM 740 KCBS", with the slogan "The Bay Area's News Station". The station is owned by Audacy, which took over after its merger with CBS Radio, and on this page you can listen to KCBS live online, free. The online stream is offered to listeners inside the United States; outside the country it may not play because of rights restrictions.

All news

KCBS is all-news radio: local Bay Area news, traffic and weather, together with national news from ABC News Radio and business news from Bloomberg Radio. It also works with KPIX-TV.

A broadcasting pioneer

KCBS has one of the longest histories in American radio. Experimental broadcasts took place from 1909 to 1921, before the station was licensed on December 9, 1921, as KQW. It kept those call letters until 1949, when it became KCBS — for Columbia Broadcasting System, the former legal name of its former owner, CBS.

Sister stations

In the Bay Area, Audacy also owns KFRC-FM, KGMZ-FM, KITS, KLLC and KRBQ.

Bay Area news, anywhere

Press play and KCBS starts in seconds — for the Bay Bridge commute, the morning headlines or breaking news.
