KNBR 1050 live

KNBR 1050 is a San Francisco Bay Area sports station. It broadcasts as KTCT on 1050 AM, is licensed to San Mateo, California, and airs a sports format as KNBR 1050, the sister station of KNBR and KNBR-FM. The station is owned by Cumulus Media, and on this page you can listen to KNBR 1050 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.

ESPN Radio and local teams

While KNBR on 680 AM carries local sports talk and play-by-play most of the day, KTCT is mainly the Bay Area's outlet for ESPN Radio's national programming. It is also the flagship station for San Jose Earthquakes soccer, Stanford University football and University of San Francisco men's basketball.

History

The station signed on on September 26, 1946, as KVSM and was KOFY from 1958 to 1997 before becoming KTCT — the call letters come from a former brand, "The Ticket".

Sister stations

In the Bay Area, Cumulus also owns KNBR, KNBR-FM, KSAN and KSFO.
