LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Fans in Las Vegas can listen to A’s games on a local radio station.

All A’s regular season, spring training, and any potential postseason games will be available on the HD2 channel of iHeartMedia’s 95.5 KWNR FM The Bull.

A’s veteran radio broadcaster Ken Korach returns for the 2025 season and will be joined by fellow returning radio voices Johnny Doskow and Chris Caray. A’s games will also continue to air in Sacramento on iHeartMedia’s Talk 650 KSTE and in the Bay Area on iHeart Sports 960, which are also available on the iHeartRadio app.

KWNR FM The Bull will carry all A’s Cast programming hosted by Chris Townsend, including A’s Cast Live which will run for two-and-a-half hours before every weeknight game.

The A’s say they are building a $1.75 billion domed stadium on the Strip that is supposed to be ready for the 2028 MLB season. The ballpark will have 30,000 fixed seats plus room for 3,000 more for a capacity of 33,000. The public is contributing $380 million toward the stadium’s construction at the former Tropicana hotel-casino site at the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue. The A’s say they will use $350 million of the $380 million in public resources.

As far as the broadcasts go, there will also carry thirty-minute pre- and postgame shows before and after every game, and A’s Talk after every postgame show.

A’s fan favorite and scout Shooty Babitt, along with former big league infielder and West Sacramento native Steve Sax, will join Jessica Kleinschmidt on the broadcast team as contributors to the pre- and postgame shows.

The Las Vegas Stadium Authority Board is scheduled to discuss the A’s stadium at a meeting Thursday at 3 PM at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
