List of television stations in the San Francisco Bay Area

Last updated

The San Francisco Bay Area is currently defined by Nielsen Media Research as the tenth-largest television market in the United States, [1] with all of the major U.S. television networks having affiliates serving the region. All but one of the major U.S. television networks are directly owned by the networks; the one exception is secondary MyNetworkTV affiliate KRON-TV (now The CW), which is owned by Nexstar Media Group.

Despite the fact that Philo Farnsworth first demonstrated fully electronic television in San Francisco in 1928, there were no experimental prewar television stations broadcasting in the Bay Area. KPIX, California's first television station, started broadcasts in 1948, with KRON and KGO soon following suit. Until 1952, the FCC had allocated only 6 television channels to the Bay Area, but in 1954 KSAN [2] began transmitting on UHF channel 32 and KQED began educational programming on channel 9. By 1956, the Sacramento area had KCRA, KBET KOVR, and KCCC on the air, the San Jose area had KSBW and KNTV, and San Francisco had KRON, KPIX, KGO, KQED, and KSAN broadcasting. The ownership and programming of these stations has changed significantly over the decades, but most of these channel assignments and call signs remain the same. With the conversion from analog NTSC to digital ATSC broadcast assignments in 2009 and subsequent "repacking" of the frequency assignments, only KSBW and KMTP (originally KSAN) have kept their original RF channel. For branding and audience-familiarity reasons, most broadcasters have kept their virtual channel numbers through all the transitions.

Thanks to the sub-channels that are enabled by ATSC modulation, over 350 channels broadcast on the 33 RF frequencies allocated for digital television may be received within the Bay Area (UHF channels 16 and 17 are allocated for T-band business radio). Television stations whose terrestrial broadcast signals can be received in the San Francisco Bay Area include: [3] [4] [5]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Puffer (research study)</span> American internet television service

Puffer is a free and open-source live TV research study operated by Stanford University to improve video streaming algorithms. The study allows users across the United States to watch seven over-the-air television stations broadcasting in the San Francisco Bay Area media market for free.

The 49ers' flagship radio stations are Cumulus Media's KSAN 107.7 FM in San Jose, while KNBR/FM 680 AM/104.5 FM, and KTCT 1050 AM serve as the San Francisco/Oakland flagships. KSAN airs all 49ers games on FM. On AM, they are simulcasted on KTCT when the San Francisco Giants are playing, and on KNBR when the Giants are not playing. Joe Starkey, best known as the voice of the University of California and The Play, was previously the color commentator on the broadcasts next to legendary announcer Lon Simmons in 1987 and 1988 and took over as lead commentator in 1989. Lon Simmons and Gordy Soltau did the broadcasts on KSFO in the 1949s and 1960s. For a brief period in the late 1970s and early 1980s Don Klein, "the voice of Stanford", did the 49ers' games. Starkey first teamed with former Detroit Lions' and KPIX Sports Director, Wayne Walker and then former 49ers' linebacker Gary Plummer formed the broadcast team from 1998 to 2008, with Starkey retiring after the 2008 season. Ted Robinson replaced Starkey and teamed up with Plummer for the 2009 and 2010 seasons. Plummer was relieved of his color commentating duties for the 2011 season and replaced by former teammate Eric Davis. Tim Ryan replaced Davis in 2014. Greg Papa, the longtime voice of the then-Bay Area rival Oakland Raiders, replaced Robinson on play-by-play in 2019.
