For the seventh consecutive season, every regular-season Golden State Warriors game will be available on television and on radio, the team announced today.
CSN Bay Area, the exclusive television home for Warriors games in Northern California, will televise a total of 71 contests during the 2015-16 campaign, beginning with the team’s preseason game against the Denver Nuggets at Oracle Arena on Tuesday, October 13. The network’s regular-season coverage tips off on Friday, October 30, when the Warriors travel to Houston to face the Rockets in a rematch of the 2015 Western Conference Finals.
For the 19th consecutive season, the Emmy Award-winning announcing team will have play-by-play announcer Bob Fitzgerald and 31-year veteran analyst Jim Barnett calling the action on all CSN Bay Area telecasts, with Ros Gold-Onwude handling sideline reporter duties for home games. CSN Bay Area provides extensive game day coverage with Warriors Pregame Live and Warriors Postgame Live; season-long, comprehensive Warriors and NBA news, analysis and insider reports on SportsNet Central and SportsTalk Live; via Warriors Central, a monthly half-hour magazine-style show; and in-depth 24/7 online coverage on CSNBayArea.com’s “WarriorsTalk” page.
In addition to the 71 games that are slated for telecast on CSN Bay Area, the Warriors are also scheduled to make a franchise-record 28 national television appearances this season, with five (5) game on ABC, 11 on ESPN and 12 on TNT.
For the 32nd consecutive season and 40th campaign overall, KNBR 680 AM will serve as the flagship radio station for Warriors basketball for the 2015-16 season. KNBR will broadcast all 82 regular-season games and all seven preseason games, the most preseason games aired since KNBR became the radio home for Warriors basketball in 1976-77. Tim Roye, who is entering his 21st season as the radio voice of the Warriors, will once again handle play-by-play duties, joined by Tom Tolbert, who will provide color commentary for all Warriors home games once again this season.
At this time, 87 of the 89 Warriors radio broadcasts are scheduled to air on 680 AM, with two (one preseason and one regular season) slated for KNBR 1050 AM. KNBR 680 will also continue to air the Warriors Roundtable radio show and the Steve Kerr Show weekly throughout the season.
In addition to the 89 games on KNBR, the Warriors will also have a franchise-record nine (9) games aired nationally on ESPN Radio, more than doubling the previous high of four (4) national radio appearances last season.
