New 49ers play-by-play announcer, Greg Papa, moving from 95.7 The Game to KNBR

Jun 21, 2019 at 7:46 PM--


Transitioning from the voice of the Oakland Raiders to the play-by-play duties for the San Francisco 49ers isn't the only move Greg Papa is making. Effective immediate, he is no longer with 95.7 The Game and will reportedly be joining KNBR, according to Steve Berman of The Athletic.

KNBR is the flagship station of the 49ers.

It would appear the move was news to his 95.7 The Game co-host, Bonta Hill, who tweeted the following on Friday.


Papa was named the new 49ers play-by-play announcer in January, replacing Ted Robinson who held the job for the past 10 seasons. Papa spent 21 years as the voice of the Raiders before being fired in July of last year.

While most predict that the San Francisco 49ers will add an offensive lineman with their first selection, No. 31 overall, Mosher has the Bay Area team going in a different direction. The writer and analyst has the Niners selecting former UCLA pass rusher Laiatu Latu in the first round. "It wouldn't be a shock to see Laiatu Latu fall in the draft due to his medical history, but he is too good of a value to pass up here at No. 31," Mosher wrote.
