KNBR Sports Radio Parts Ways with Longtime Host Tom Tolbert
Former 49ers Player and Coach to Depart Station After 30 Years
Tolbert's Final Broadcast to Air on Friday, March 3
In a surprising move, KNBR sports radio has announced that it will be parting ways with longtime host Tom Tolbert. Tolbert, a former 49ers player and coach, has been a fixture at the station for over 30 years.
Tolbert's final broadcast will air on Friday, March 3. The station has not yet announced who will replace him.
Tolbert began his career at KNBR in 1992 as a co-host of the "Tolbert & Lund" show. He later became the host of his own show, "The Tom Tolbert Show," which aired weekdays from 3-6 pm.
Tolbert was a popular figure with listeners, known for his humor and his insightful analysis of sports. He was also a strong supporter of the 49ers and the Warriors.
The news of Tolbert's departure has come as a shock to many. He is one of the most recognizable voices in Bay Area sports radio, and his show was one of the most popular in the market.
It is unclear what led to Tolbert's departure from KNBR. The station has not released any details, and Tolbert has not commented publicly.
Tolbert's departure is a major loss for KNBR. He was one of the station's most popular hosts, and his show was a staple of the Bay Area sports radio landscape.
