The 80-year home of legacy station Talk Radio KGO-AM is no more. Cumulus has flipped the switch to sports betting.
“810 The Spread will be the Bay Area’s best bet for sports fans and sports betting enthusiasts, and we are pleased to introduce sports-betting radio to our community,” said Kevin Graham, PD. “The station will feature a lineup of expert personalities that deliver unique sports talk and sports betting insights that entertain, inform, and engage, along with Cal Football and Basketball as well as select professional and college sports play-by-play events. While 810 The Spread will feature specific gambling information, we believe our entertaining presentation will make it a favorite for all Bay area sports fans and a perfect complement to the legendary KNBR and KTCT.”
“This is a bittersweet day for us, as it’s hard to say goodbye to the legendary KGO, which has been a part of listeners’ lives for so many years,” said Larry Blumhagen, VP/MM, Cumulus San Francisco. “We want to thank all the people who have been a part of KGO’s historic run these many years – and the listeners who loyally tuned in to the station. Times change, and we must change with them.”
The station will carry BetQL Network programming provided by Cumulus Media’s Westwood One through a partnership with Audacy. It will also carry some programming from Bet MGM.
