Heard on The Sports Leader yesterday that the venerable (not to be confused with Max Venable) Marty Lurie was heading over to KNBR to do a Giants weekend pre-game show.
Today, MLB.com has a very detailed piece about it:

From the article, quoting Marty:
"Toward the end of September, I started contacting KTRB but couldn't get answers to any of my e-mails or phone calls as to what the plans were for this next season. It went into late November when I found out that they were looking into different programming."
"Essentially they said the A's had too much pregame time and they wanted to have a talk show on," said Lurie, whose show always aired at 5 p.m. on days Oakland played night games. "I had an inclination this was happening and had heard rumors in September, so it was obvious I wasn't in their plans."
