Longtime afternoon host Tom Tolbert reportedly out at KNBR after 28 years
A Bay Area institution seemingly has come to an end.
Longtime KNBR afternoon host Tom Tolbert is reportedly out at the station after 28 years, according to two sources.
Tolbert has been a fixture in the Bay Area sports media landscape since joining KNBR in 1994. He has hosted a variety of shows on the station, including “The Sportsphone 680” and “Tolbert, Krueger & Brooks,” and has been a regular contributor to the station’s coverage of the Giants, Warriors, and 49ers.
Tolbert’s departure from KNBR would be a significant loss for the station. He is one of the most recognizable and respected voices in Bay Area sports media, and his show has been a popular destination for sports fans for decades.
KNBR has not yet confirmed Tolbert’s departure, and Tolbert has not yet commented publicly on the matter.
