KTRB is shooting itself in the foot. Sounds to me like they don’t want to commit much airspace to the A’s. Will we be looking for a new radio station for next year? It might be good, if this is the kind of treatment KTRB gives. As a student of the game (and an A’s fan) I will really miss Marty and “Right Off the Bat.” To put it in today’s vernacular, this sucks!

This is terrible news for A’s fans. I enjoyed talking to Marty during the games. He would make the rounds and chat with me about the game, the weather, the players, the 1929 Philadelphia A’s retro jersey I was wearing. He seemed to care about the conversation and it made me feel good for having had the conversation. The management at KTRB is making a big mistake – although a mistake not easily measured financially.

Yuh, they wanted to give more airtime to that great sports prognosticator Michael Savage …

Wow. I wonder if Damon Bruce is upset. 2 years ago, he got the pre and post game. Last year, they took away 50% of the post game and gave it to Dave Fleming. And now they are taking away both Pre and Post? wow.

I am heartbroken that the A’s will lose Marty before each game and an extra hour on Saturdays. This really calls into question KTRB’s stated desire to be an all sports station with a special emphasis on the East Bay…and it’s pretty pathetic for a flagship station of a major league club.
