The Chronicle article said "KYCY will be the flagship station, but its signal does not cover the South Bay well. KNTS is a South Bay station..."
Both of the stations have their transmitters in the southern part of the Peninsula. KYCY has a 10,000-watt nighttime signal. KNTS operates with a mighty *145 watts* at night.
I sat in the parking lot the other night at HP Pavilion before a Sharks game and tuned both 1220 and 1550 on my car radio. At 6:30 p.m. (after sunset), KYCY was fadey but audible, mixing with KGA/Spokane. KNTS was in a jumbled mess at 1220 and virtually inaudible.
There's your South Bay station, A's fans.
I don't know when they'll be upping their nigttime power to 50,000 watts, but it doesn't appear that it'll be in time for the season to start. If it was, why would the A's need KYCY, and why would CBS agree to allow another Bay Area station to share the broadcasts?
Here's how KYCY's nighttime signal looks:

Here's a look at how KNTS' 50,000-watt nighttime signal will be beamed from Hayward, near the San Mateo Bridge toll plaza:

It appears that the lobe will cover the western part of the South Bay just fine.
Has anybody seen the official press release yet saying that KNTS will be an A's station?

You may be a bit charitable here. Here's the usual "for entertainment only" R-L map of the KNTS/1220 50KW night CP:

That doesn't really look good for San Jose. Do the A's plan another station down there, or are they just not really interested in SJ?

Doesn't the pattern at night time change during the summer? I didn't check the links for the pattern but listening to 1220 and 1550 in January doesn't give the station much credence for broadcasts that'll happen at least 4 months later when the pattern changes.
If San Jose wanted to listen, maybe they could have been more active and receptive to a move for the A's to the South Bay. And the territorial argument or comments won't do. Those go out the window with how much money one can throw the MLB way. And that's the thing. When there isn't money to throw around, you get what you pay for.
Let's hope all broadcasts are audible for all!
