THE FLAGSHIP STATION The University of California and San Francisco’s KGO Radio (810 AM) continue to enjoy the longest running broadcast relation- ship in the Bay Area. Entering its 33rd year as the home of California Golden Bears football, KGO, the 50,000-watt, ABC-owned radio sta- tion, serves as the flagship of the California Radio Network. KGO has been carrying Califor- nia football since the 1974 season. The University and KGO reached an agree- ment during the summer of 2005 that will keep the Bears on 810 AM through the 2009 season. The marriage of KGO and Cal football is the long- est standing radio association in the Pacific-10 Conference and one of the longest in all of col- lege athletics.
