What's going on with 95.7 The Game? Only a 1.1 in San Fran and 1.0 in San Jose? Ratings should be much higher, especially for a station has the rights to an MLB team that is in the playoffs again, and now has the rights to the Raiders. And yet KNBR, with a Giants team that struggled, is #2 in San Fran. Do people in the market not care about the Oakland teams?

Other stations that have the rights to an MLB team have much, much higher ratings than KGMZ (KDKA-FM Pittsburgh, WXYT-FM Detroit, WLW-AM Cincinnati).
 
It seems like the last 3 decades, the As have gotten little respect in the Bay Area, especially outside of Oakland and the East Bay. Their attendance at the stadium is usually poor, even when they're winning and playing exciting baseball. When I first moved to the Bay Area in the early 70s, they were getting a lot of attention and adulation (Catfish Hunter, Reggie Jackson era), but since then, not much.

I guess they garnered some love when the played (and beat) the Giants in the 89 "Bay Bridge" World Series, but not much since then.

With the A's on a fantastic run, I think it speaks volumes as to how bad 95.7 programming is when they aren't broadcasting an A's game. Even the A's post game is a joke. One of them last week literally ran for 23 minutes. You can barely get out of the park in 23 minutes and the show is already over? You have to wonder when Entercom is going to either pull the plug on PD Jason Barrett or on the station altogether. When it was a country station, the ratings were almost double the Game.

Speaks volumes as to how bad 95.7 content is outside of A's game broadcasts.
 
A couple of weeks ago I tried to listen to an A's game driving down 680. It was painful. I can't look right now due to the shutdown, but I don't think KGMZ has an East Bay booster like all of the other SF stations. If they do, it's not working very well. That certainly doesn't fully explain the low numbers, but it can't be helping.
